Highly monodisperse M(III)-based soc-MOFs (M = In and Ga) with cubic and truncated cubic morphologies.
In this work, we carry out an investigation on shape-controlled growth of In(III)- and Ga(III)-based square-octahedral metal-organic frameworks (soc-MOFs). In particular, controllable crystal morphological evolution from simple cubes to complex octadecahedra has been achieved, and resultant highly uniform crystal building blocks promise new research opportunities for preparation of self-assembled MOF materials and related applications.
