The ligands required for synthesizing metal-organic framework (MOF) products can be various organic molecules that coordinate with metal ions to form the framework structure. These ligands typically include organic compounds with different functional groups such as carboxyl, amino, etc., and their structure and function are determined by the choice of ligands. The design and synthesis of ligands are crucial steps in controlling the structure and properties of MOFs, determining the pore structure, surface properties, and chemical reactivity, thus affecting the potential use of MOFs in adsorption, separation, catalysis, and other fields.
