Fluorinated metal–organic frameworks (F-MOFs) have revolutionized the field of gas separation because of their tunable pore apertures, chemical features, as well as excellent stability. A deep understanding of their structure–performance relationships is critical for the synthesis and development of new F-MOFs. This critical review has focused on several strategies for the precise design and synthesis of new F-MOFs with structures tuned for specific gas separation purposes. First, the basic principles and concepts of F-MOFs as well as their structure, synthesis and modification and their structure to property relationships are studied. Then, applications of F-MOFs in adsorption and membrane gas separation are discussed. A detailed account of the design and capabilities of F-MOFs for the adsorption of various gases and the governing principles is provided this article. Also, surprising features of stable F-MOFs with engineered pore size and structures are considered to develop selective membranes. Analysis of the position of F-MOFs in gas separation indicated that F-MOFs are good candidates for most of the challenging gas separations.
The future of the science and engineering of F-MOFs and their challenges are also mentioned to tackle the issues of overcoming the trade-off between capacity/permeability and selectivity for a serious move towards industrialization.
