The release of anthropogenic toxic pollutants into the atmosphere is a worldwide threat of growing
concern. In this regard, it is possible to take advantage of the high versatility of MOFs materials in order
to develop new technologies for environmental remediation purposes. Consequently, one of the main
scientific challenges to be achieved in the field of MOF research should be to maximize the
performance of these solids towards the sensing, capture and catalytic degradation of harmful gases
and vapors by means of a rational control of size and reactivity of the pore walls that are directly
accessible to guest molecules.
