MOFs are one of the coolest nanomaterials. They are easy to customize and are sort of like molecular tinker toys. One can make a new MOF with the same structure by exchanging one of the molecular struts for another. In addition they self assemble and can be made by the ton. I don't think we can make carbon nanotubes by the ton. Chris Wilmer, a well known MOF researcher and bitcoin proponent, has an interesting talk on MOFs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n1hcF2kYlC0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n1hcF2kYlC0
