Highly Monodisperse MIII-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 MOP materials and related applications.
