Many medical and chemical applications require target molecules to be delivered in a controlled manner at precise locations. Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have high porosity, large surface area, tunable functionality are promising carriers for such purposes. Current approaches incorporating based on multistep postfunctionalization. Here, we report novel approach that combines MOF synthesis molecule encapsulation one-pot process. We demonstrate drug dye can encapsulated zeolitic imidazolate...
