Final Report: Dynamics of Nanoscale Self-Assembled Porous Materials

Abstract

1) To observe and theoretically model the formation of MOFs. The kinetics, and hence mechanistic details, of MOF formation are presently not well understood. It is not known whether identical, similar, or completely different mechanisms are engaged in the synthesis of different MOFs. Using in situ TEM and newly developed approaches for initiating reactions in the TEM using a precision robotic picoliter dispensing technology, we will map the kinetic landscape for the growth of several canonical MOFs. In situ TEM provides the ability to monitor these processes on the nanoscale in real time.
