Introduction: Hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks (HOFs) have emerged as a promising class of porous materials due to their structural versatility, mild synthesis conditions and potential biocompatibility.[1] These characteristics make HOF-based nanomaterials attractive candidates for a wide range of biomedical applications, including drug delivery, bioimaging, and gene delivery for cell therapies.[2,3] However, the development of HOF nanoparticles and the understanding of their physicochemical properties remain somewhat limited.
Learning Objectives:
Assess the differences between the preparation methods of the nanoparticles.
Understand the structure – activity relationship of the materials.
