  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-007260",
  "term": "Metal-organic framework",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A class of porous, crystalline materials composed of metal ions or clusters coordinated to organic ligands, forming a network structure. These materials possess high surface areas and tunable pore sizes, making them suitable for gas storage, separation, and catalysis. Their structures can be designed at the molecular level.",
