Influence of Water on Zinc Metal–Organic Framework Formation Kinetics
The role of water concentration, arising primarily from the metal salt and solvent, on the induction time for the solid appearance is investigated for three zinc-based metal–organic frameworks (MOFs). Precursor solutions containing higher levels of water lead to faster induction times. This is observed regardless of the particular phase formed, pointing to a common mechanism for driving supersaturation: solvent hydrolysis. The ultimate phase that arises depends on both water content and counterion employed.
