Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are being explored and investigated for a wide range of potential industrial applications due to the massive diversity of its structures and so many properties. Metal-organic framework compounds offer extremely large surface area, higher empty space volume, flexible networks, perfect mechanical and thermal stability, MOF can provide size or shape selectivity, and all of these are necessary for many industrial applications. In this research, different types of cobalt MOFs and coordination complexes have been synthesized with solvothermal process by fabricating cobalt (II) ion (normally metal salt) coordinated with organic ligand (normally organic carboxylate acid or basic organic compound or sometimes both and Nitrogen based third party linkers) and required solvent with subsequent heating condition. Various characterization techniques have been employed such as: single crystal X-ray diffraction (SXRD), powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and BET surface area.
