Porous Coordination Polymer Nanoparticles and Macrostructures

Beside the conventional research that aims at tuning PCP crystal characteristics at the molecular scale, recent research efforts focused on the extension of the level of design and organization of PCP crystals from the molecular to the nano- and macroscale.

This chapter attempts to give an overview of the most promising strategies applied so far for the synthesis of PCP nanocrystals and PCP-based macrostructures and composites. The second section of this chapter focuses on the control of the size and shape of PCP crystals. The third section describes the strategies employed for the synthesis of PCP-based polycrystalline macrostructures and composites. 

Examples of microwave synthesis resulting in the formation of PCP crystals with a narrow size distribution and comprised within the submicrometer regime 

Addition of a base to deprotonate the organic linker was used as a strategy to regulate the early stage of crystallization. Li et al. prepared highly uniform suspensions of ZIF-7 nanocrystal suspensions by dissolving zinc nitrate and benzimidazolate (bim) into a polyethylene imine (PEI)-dimethylformamide (DMF)
