Considering their high porosity, well-defined channels with tunable size and shape, and flexibility in pore/surface functionalization, metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have been used by researchers from different disciplines. In modern analytical chemistry in particular, they have been used as new stationary phases, sorbents for solid-phase extraction, etc. However, the limited processability and stability hinder their widespread application. The appropriate combination of MOFs with suitable guests is an effective way to overcome these shortcomings. In this chapter, various aspects of MOF-based composites with species such as polymers, polyoxometalates (POMs), carbonaceous materials, and ionic liquids from synthesis to applications in various analytical techniques are summarized.
