Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) and covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are designable and tunable functional crystalline porous materials that have been explored for applications such as catalysis, chemical sensing, water harvesting, gas storage, and separation. On the basis of reticular chemistry, the rational design and synthesis of MOFs and COFs allows us to have unprecedented control over their structural features and functionalities. Given the vast number of possible MOF and COF structures and the flexibility of modifying them, it remains challenging to navigate the infinite chemical space solely through a trial-and-error process. This Opinion Article provides a brief perspective of the current state and future prospects of MOFs and COFs. We envision that emerging technologies based on machine learning and robotics, such as high-throughput computational screening and fully automatic synthesis, can potentially address some challenges facing this field, accelerating the discovery of porous framework materials and the development of rational synthetic strategies for customized applications.
