Apparently MOF's have incredibly high internal surface areas, thus making them candidates for such applications as gas storage, gas filters (which could be very useful for future deep space travel, i.e., storing hydrogen, oxygen, etc. in an incredibly small amount of space and/or as a spaceship's air "scubbers" written about in various science fiction books) and potentially (here on earth) supercapacitors...
