Zr 6 O 4 (OH) 4 (O 2 C- t- Bu) 12 precursor uncovers how modulators govern supersaturation, nucleation, and growth of UiO-66 nanocrystals
Abstract
). The low surface energy explains the lack of Ostwald ripening under the synthesis conditions. The kinetics of MOF formation and the final nanocrystal size can be predicted using a homogeneous nucleation and growth mass balance model where the supersaturation is governed by a competition between the modulator and linker for the nodal cluster.
