Just add water: for instant and scalable conversion of metal acetates to metal–organic frameworks†
Abstract
MOFs are typically synthesized under severe conditions that require high pressure and temperature. Accordingly, herein we necessitated advances in their expeditious and scalable synthesis at ambient conditions. In this aspect, the Cu-BDC and Cu-BTC can now be prepared in minutes via a controlled dissolution–crystallization route with divalent metal acetate as a precursor at room temperature, and would be highly desired for industrial implementation and commercialization.
