A universal strategy for fabrication and morphology control of polyoxometalate-based metal–organic frameworks

A novel method is proposed to fabricate polyoxometalate-based metal-organic frameworks (POM@MOFs) by using the ability of POMs to oxidize metals to cations. The morphology-controlled growth of POM@MOFs (NENU-n) is achieved in the absence of any modulators and an effect of polyoxoanion charge number on morphology is observed.
