Abstract

A continuous flow reactor allows the preparation of porous metal–organic framework materials with crystallisation induced by rapid mixing of streams of preheated water and solutions of reagents in organic solvent: this gives high volume production (132 g h−1) with crystallite size of the products from nanoscale to micron.
