High-rate synthesis of Cu-BTC metal-organic frameworks.

The reaction conditions for the synthesis of Cu-BTC (BTC = benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylic acid) were elucidated using a continuous-flow microreactor-assisted solvothermal system to achieve crystal size and phase control. A high-rate synthesis of Cu-BTC metal-organic frameworks with a BET surface area of more than 1600 m(2) g(-1) (Langmuir surface area of more than 2000 m(2) g(-1)) and with a 97% production yield could be achieved with a total reaction time of 5 minutes.
