The field of MOFs has been incorrectly believed to be purely crystalline. Herein, non-crystalline MOFs (amorphous MOFs, MOF liquids, and MOF glasses) are reviewed. Future research directions are also discussed.

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) beyond crystallinity: amorphous MOFs, MOF liquids and MOF glasses
