Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), an emerging class of highly ordered crystalline porous materials, possess structural tunability, high specific surface area, well-defined pores, and diverse pore environments and morphologies, making them suitable for various potential applications. Moreover, hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks (HOFs), constructed from organic molecules with complementary hydrogen-bonding patterns, are rapidly evolving into a novel category of porous materials due to their facile mild preparation conditions, solution processability, easy regeneration capability, and excellent biocompatibility. These distinctive advantages have garnered significant attention across diverse fields. Considering the inherent binding affinity between MOFs and HOFs along with the fact that many MOF linkers can serve as building blocks for constructing HOFs, their combination holds promise in creating functional materials with enhanced performance. This feature paper provides an introduction to the interconversion between MOFs and HOFs followed by highlighting the emerging applications of MOF-HOF composites. Finally, we briefly discuss the current challenges associated with future perspectives on MOF-HOF composites.
金属有机框架材料（MOFs）是一类新兴的高度有序的结晶多孔材料，具有结构可调节性、高比表面积、明确的孔隙以及多样的孔隙环境和形态，使其适用于各种潜在应用。此外，由具有互补氢键模式的有机分子构建而成的氢键有机框架材料（HOFs），由于其温和的制备条件、溶液可加工性、易于再生的能力以及出色的生物相容性，正迅速发展成为一类新型多孔材料。这些独特的优势在各个领域都引起了广泛关注。考虑到MOFs与HOFs之间固有的结合亲和力，以及许多MOF连接体可作为构建HOFs的结构单元这一事实，它们的结合有望创造出性能增强的功能材料。这篇专题论文首先介绍了MOFs与HOFs之间的相互转化，接着重点介绍了MOF-HOF复合材料的新兴应用。最后，我们简要讨论了与MOF-HOF复合材料未来前景相关的当前挑战。
