Herein, we present a comprehensive overview of recent advances in the field of microporous metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) with a focus on their application as eco-friendly tools for selective molecular separations in chemical analysis. The study delves into the possible challenges observed in the use of MOFs for separation processes and elucidates the outstanding advances in the area. Furthermore, the synthesis and modification processes essential for developing efficient MOFs for separation applications are discussed. Emphasizing the sustainable aspects of these materials, the manuscript highlights the high chemical and thermal stability, substantial porosity, and surface area of microporous MOFs. Furthermore, its good extraction efficiency and selectivity in analytical separations are explored in detail. By exploring the current state of the art in MOFs, this work aims to contribute with important insights into the application of these materials for selective separations in chemical analysis. The challenges and advances discussed here provide a comprehensive understanding of the potential and limitations associated with microporous MOFs in the context of sustainable separations.
