Pseudomorphic replication for surface patterning with porphyrinic metal–organic frameworks

Abstract

An unexplored strategy for controlled surface patterning with porphyrinic metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), integrating atomic layer deposition (ALD) and pseudomorphic replication (PMR), is presented. Surface patterning with a sub-micrometer size resolution is enabled by translating ALD-patterned Al₂O₃ into a MOF pattern in the presence of a porphyrinic linker.
