Instant MOFs: continuous synthesis of metal-organic frameworks by rapid solvent mixing.

A continuous flow reactor allows the preparation of porous metal-organic framework materials with crystallisation induced by rapid mixing of streams of preheated water and solutions of reagents in organic solvent: this gives high volume production (132 g h(-1)) with crystallite size of the products from nanoscale to micron.
