title: Nanoporous nanorods fabricated by coordination modulation and oriented attachment growth.
abstract: A growing attachment: Porous coordination polymer (PCP) nanorods are synthesized by modulation of the coordination equilibria between framework components, which regulates the rate of framework extension and crystal growth. Investigation of the crystal growth mechanism by TEM indicates that face-selective modulation on the surfaces of PCP crystals enhances the anisotropic crystal growth of nanorods by an oriented attachment mechanism.
