Figure 4: Schematic illustration for mesocellular MOF formation.
From: Highly mesoporous metal–organic framework assembled in a switchable solvent
The Cu2+ ions react with the deprotonated BTC3− in the CXL and the nanosized framework building blocks are produced. Then the MOF building blocks assemble to form the mesocellular MOFs with large mesopores and thin mesopore walls.
