Metal–Organic Frameworks: Kinetic‐Controlled Formation of Bimetallic Metal–Organic Framework Hybrid Structures (Small 41/2017)

In article number 1702049, Wenhan Guo, Ruqiang Zou and co-workers develop a new strategy to synthesize metal–organic framework hybrid nanostructures by kinetic control. The growth kinetics of monometallic MOFs is revealed by in situ optical turbidity measurements, and accordingly bimetallic MOF nanoparticles with either solid-solution, core-shell or combined hybrid structures are purposively synthesized without the assistance of surfactants or modulators.
