Unraveling crystal growth of metal-organic frameworks by secondharmonic scattering: from fundamental research to crystal engineering. KU Leuven
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) form one of the newest classes of advanced, nanoporous materials. They display a remarkable structural and functional versatility and can be tuned to meet specific technological applications. Although thousands of MOFs have been reported, rational design of MOFs with predictable properties, such as framework structure, size and morphology, is still hindered by a limited understanding of the underlying crystal ...
