Hydroxamate‐Based Metal‐Organic Frameworks

Abstract This mini‐review focuses on recent developments in hydroxamate‐based metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), which exhibit unique structures and properties distinct from those of carboxylate‐based MOFs. Hydroxamates (RCONHO − ) form MOFs with novel structural motifs and functionalities. In this review, synthetic strategies, structural characteristics, and functional applications of key examples of hydroxamate‐based MOFs are described, providing insights into the influence of the hydroxamate ligand on the MOF properties compared to that of the carboxylate‐based analogues.
