We confirm that the investigated Al-MOFs are robust with respect to reproducible synthesis and concomitant porosity as a prerequisite for applications.

Powder X-ray diffraction was used to monitor the solvent-free synthesis of two-dimensional (2D) metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) via mechanochemical methods. For four isophthalic acid-based, alkoxide-functionalized organic ligands, optimal milling times were found to vary from 12 to 48 min. This work confirms that mechanochemical synthesis routes can be utilized to afford highly-crystalline, 2D MOFs.

A solvothermal synthetic route to Ce(iv)-MOFs using acetonitrile as solvent is reported that avoids the formation of the extremely dominant hexanuclear inorganic building unit (IBU) and paves the way for higher IBU diversity in Ce(iv)-MOFs.

Energy-efficient indoors temperature control can be realised through adsorption chillers or adsorption heat pumps based on the reversible adsorption and desorption of water in porous materials. Stable microporous aluminium-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) present promising water sorption properties for this goal. The development of synthesis routes that make use of available and affordable building blocks and avoid the use of organic solvents is crucial to advance this field. In this work, two scalable synthesis routes under mild reaction conditions were developed for aluminium-based MOFs: (1) in aqueous solutions using a continuous flow reactor and (2) through the vapour-assisted conversion of solid precursors. Fumaric acid, its methylated analogue mesaconic acid, as well as mixtures of the two were used as linkers. The synthesis conditions determine the crystal structure (symmetry and topology), either the MIL-53 or MIL-68 type with square-grid or kagome-grid topology, respectively. Fine-tuning resulted in new MOF materials thus far inaccessible through conventional synthesis routes. Furthermore, by varying the linker ratio, the water sorption properties can be continuously adjusted while retaining the sigmoidal isotherm shape advantageous for heat transformation applications.

We successfully demonstrate that the chemical bath deposition (CBD) method is a versatile method for synthesizing phase-pure and uniform MOFs by controlling their nucleation stages and pore structures.
