Shape- and size-controlled synthesis of coordination polymer {[Cu(en)2][KFe(CN)6]}n nano/micro-crystals

Ultrasound technology assisted colloidal nanocrystal synthesis and biomedical applications

“…The result indicates the remarkable effect of PVP on the crystallization of nanocrystals. It seems that PVP and ultrasonic radiation played a key role in the morphology development of the nano/micro-crystas [63] . The drawback is that the fast reaction speed makes it difficult to control the process of sonochemical synthesis, as discussed in detail below.…”

Post-synthetic ion-exchange process in nanoporous metal–organic frameworks; an effective way for modulating their structures and properties

“…1,5 Recently, CP nanocrystals, with nite repeating units, have aroused a growing interest due to their particular properties that differ from the conventional bulk CP. [6][7][8][9] As the prototype of polymeric crystal engineering, CPs are an intriguing class of hybrid materials, which exist as innite crystalline lattices extended from inorganic vertices (metal ions or clusters) and organic ligand struts via coordination interactions. 10 The structure and properties of coordination polymers depend on the coordination habits and geometries of both metal ions and connecting ligands.…”
