thumb|Crystal structure of MOF-5. A JSmol visualization can be found here MOF-5 or IRMOF-1 is a cubic metal–organic framework compound with the formula Zn4O(BDC)3, where BDC2− = 1,4-benzodicarboxylate (MOF-5). It was first synthesized in the lab of Omar M. Yaghi. MOF-5 is notable for exhibiting one of the highest surface area to volume ratios among metal–organic frameworks, at 2200 m2/cm3. Additionally, it was the first metal–organic framework studied for hydrogen gas storage.
Yaghi's work on MOF-5 is partially responsible for his 2025 Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
