remains a major challenge. [1,2] In this context, taking advantage of the forces between different molecules and/or atoms, nano-scientists can utilize various complex strategies, such as selfassembly, [3,4] top-down, [5,6] down-top, [7,8] and template methods, [9,10] which can conveniently build complex systems to meet the needs of nanomaterials. [11,12] Crystalline coordination compounds are usually long-range ordered infinite network structures connected by versatile coordination bonds between metal ions and organic ligands, [13,14] which are regarded as one subclass of functional materials with fixed open pores. [15] In addition to the intrinsic features of materials, the properties of coordination compounds depend largely on their structural as well as morphological characteristics. [16,17] Moreover, materials reduced to the nanoscale can exhibit totally different properties compared to what they show on a macroscale, enabling unique applications. [18,19] Therefore, it is vital to develop new strategies to design and precisely control the crystal nanostructures of coordination compounds. [20,21] On the other hand, we need to develop stable modern synthetic approaches and unfold a series of underlying mechanism for preparing nanomaterials with an expected structure as well as morphology, [22,23] rather than obtaining them by chance. However, the chemical reaction is mainly controlled by both kinetics and thermodynamics with multiple components interacting with each other in the reaction process, which would result in a complex process. [24,25] Thus, it is difficult to reveal the change of crystal morphology and explain the principle behind them step by step. [26] As the first modern synthetic pigment, Prussian blue is known for the artificial coordination compound and plenty of literature has shown that its analogues (PBA) exhibit various hollow morphologies. [27] Lou and his group has successfully synthesized CoFe PBA nanocages, nanoframes, and nanoboxes with different 3D geometry through polyvinylpyrrolidone and citrate mediated growth kinetics. [28] However, the formation process and specific steps of their hollow shape are rarely reported. To analyze the real formation mechanism of crystal morphology is of great significance for the development of nanomaterials with expected morphology, which can be widely used in the fields of electrochemical energy storage or catalysis. [29-31] In the preparation of nanomaterials, the kinetics and thermodynamics in the reaction can significantly affect the structures and phases of nanocrystals. Therefore, people are keen to adopt various synthetic strategies to accurately assemble the target nanocrystals, and reveal the underlying mechanism of the formation of specific structures. In this work, the total reaction time is adjusted to let the prepared MnCo Prussian blue analogous (MnCoPBA) crystals show four evolving morphological changes at different stages with the assistance of sodium dodecyl sulfate. Furthermore, it is clearly observed that the epitaxial growth along t...
