Superstructure of a Metal–Organic Framework Derived from Microdroplet Flow Reaction: An Intermediate State of Crystallization by Particle Attachment

adsorptions. The CPA mechanism in the crystallization of HKUST-1 demonstrated in this work is in clear contrast to the monomer-by-monomer addition mechanism in classic models of crystal growth. This mechanism could have important reference meaning for understanding the crystal growth mechanism of other type of MOFs or other special morphologies.
