Due to the high natural abundance of host metal, exploration of aluminum-based metal-organic frameworks (Al-MOFs) provides a new approach to construct economical-friendly functional materials. However, compared with other metal-based MOFs, the fast hydrolysis kinetic of Al3+ leads to great difficulty in crystallization, limiting their investigations in structure and host-guest chemistry. As the understanding towards the hydrolysis of Al3+ deepens, recently the development of Al-MOFs boomed, thus an up-to-date summary of this area is of great importance. Based on this, this review provided a detailed summary of the synthetic methods, structural diversity, and applications in host-guest chemistry of Al-MOFs. Regarding synthetic methods, in addition to the traditional solvothermal method, the emerging microwave-assisted synthesis and electrochemical synthesis were included as well. In terms of structural diversity, all secondary building units (SBUs) reported in Al-MOFs to date are classified and summarized. Starting from these SBUs, the derived Al-MOF structures reported after 2023 were discussed in detail. Moreover, the host-guest chemistry of Al-MOFs was highlighted. By categorizing the guest molecules, this review summarized the corresponding absorption mechanism and binding sites. Finally, this review provided a perspective on the host-guest chemistry of Al-MOFs.
