Raman spectroscopy, an ideal tool for studying the physical properties and applications of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs)

studies in atmosphere as well as various chemical environments. We briefly discuss the relevance of computational studies in understanding phonon modes and predicting the stability of MOFs. Although this review is particularly focussed on works related to Raman spectroscopy of MOFs, we do discuss infrared studies on MOFs, where such results or analyses are missing from the Raman studies. These discussions have been provided with the intent to develop similar analysis techniques or methods in Raman spectroscopy research.
