title: Gas promotes the crystallization of nano-sized metal-organic frameworks in ionic liquid.
abstract: Herein it was found that gas can be utilized as an activator to promote metal-organic framework (MOF) crystallization in IL at room temperature. The ultra-small MOF nanoparticles were obtained, and their size and porosity properties can be easily modulated by controlling gas pressure. The as-synthesized nano-sized Cu-MOF is an excellent candidate catalyst for the solvent-free oxidation of cyclohexene with oxygen.
