title: Scalable room-temperature conversion of copper(II) hydroxide into HKUST-1 (Cu3 (btc)2).
abstract: Copper(II) hydroxide is converted directly to HKUST-1 (Cu(3) (btc)(2) ) after only 5 min at room-temperature in aqueous ethanolic solution without the need of additional solvents. Scale up to the kilogram scale does not influence porous properties yielding pure-phase product with a remarkable total surface area exceeding 1700 m(2)  g(-1)  featuring aggregates of nanometer-sized crystals (<600 nm) and extremely high space-time yields.
