MOF crystal growth shows oligomer-driven nonclassical behavior
—
in ChemistryWhat the study found Computer simulations of ZIF-8, a metal–organic framework (MOF), showed that its growth can proceed through nonclassical mechanisms triggered by oligomer attachments. The modeled layers included defective sites, and higher concentrations produced inhomogeneous amorphous phases. Why the authors say this matters The authors state that MOF synthesis is still largely guided by…
