During the synthesis of MOFs the centrifugation is done to separate MOFs precipitate from the solution .But the MOFs precipitate stick on the wall of centifuge tube ,how to make it unstick and easily obtain the precipitate without the loss of precipitate.
You can make glass vessels hydrophobic by Silanization.

Hi @ Elizbit Khan
In which method you are preparing the MOF is impotent. Centrifugation is the technique to separate the MOF some the solvent. Or in the hydrothermal method several literature could be available where simple filtration method is used and in the filtration the same solvent has been used. You can try to separate your sticky part using the same solvent medium used for the synthesis.

When I worked with MOF I filtered it and washed with methanol to eliminate all the impurities. However, you can try to dry well your sample and use ultrasound to force the detachment
