Abstract

Micro-needles and nano-rods of NH₂-Mil-53(Al) have been synthesized via coordination modulation. PXRD analysis has been utilized to determine the orientation of the micro-needles, showing the preferred growth direction to be [001]. Nanoparticles of NH₂-Mil-53(Al) were formed using NaOH as a base.
