# MOF Explorer ### Background MOFs are highly tunable materials composed of inorganic ions or clusters ("nodes") connected by organic ligands ("linkers") that yield a crystalline structure. To date, tens of thousands of MOFs have been experimentally synthesized, and virtually unlimited more can be hypothesized based on plausible node and linker building blocks. The MOF Explorer () provides an interactive interface to the Quantum MOF (MOF) Database, which contains DFT-computed properties for \~20,000 MOFs and related MOF-like materials. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.materialsproject.org/apps/explorer-apps/mof-explorer.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
