Metal-organic frameworks are used in a range of applications such as catalysis, and gas storage and separation. In this Hot Feature Article Juan-Alcañiz , Jorge Gascon and Freek Kapteijn present a critical review of the recent progress in encapsulating active moieties in metal–organic frameworks. This review is focuses on active species bigger than the pores or windows of the host system (physically entrapped moieties), the synthetic methods followed, and the application of the resulting composites.
