Galway Porous Materials has a strong interest in the synthesis of novel metal-organic frameworks . Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are a family of hybrid porous materials that have attracted immense research interest in recent decades due to their appealing structural features.

​
They often possess large surface area, high porosity, flexible structure, an amphiphilic internal microenvironment, and the possibility of introducing functional groups in the pores and frameworks in a spatially controlled way, which make these materials especially suitable for encapsulating a large variety of guest molecules. As such, MOFs can be used in a wide range of applications, e.g. gas storage and/or separation, magnetism, catalysis, sensing, drug delivery and imaging related applications.
