Lanthanide-based MOFs: synthesis approaches and applications in cancer diagnosis and therapy

Abstract

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have attracted considerable attention as emerging nanomaterials. Based on their tunable size, high porosity, and large specific surface area, MOFs have a wide range of applications in the fields of chemistry, energy, and biomedicine. However, the MOF materials obtained from lanthanides with a unique electronic configuration as inorganic building units have unique properties such as optics, magnetism, and radioactivity. In this study, various synthetic methods for preparing MOF materials using lanthanides as inorganic building units are described. Combined with the characteristics of lanthanides, their application prospects of lanthanide-based MOFs in tumor diagnosis and treatment are emphasized. The authors hope to provide methodological reference for the construction of MOF materials of rare-earth elements, and to provide ideas and inspiration for their practical applications in the field of biomedicine.
