Abstract:Coordination polymers (CPs), including metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), have recently emerged as a platform to design new materials with novel applications in fields such as electronics, magnetism, catalysis, optics and gas storage/separation. However, the pathways followed and the mechanisms underlying their formation remain largely unknown and unresolved. Accordingly, the elucidation of associated growth mechanisms remains the key obstacle in accessing new properties and functions in such materials. Herein, … Show more
