New method to synthesize amorphous metal-organic frameworks and coordination polymers

Researchers at Humboldt-Universität Berlin, led by Prof. Dr. Nicola Pinna, have made a groundbreaking advancement in nanotechnology, successfully extending the well-known Stöber method to synthesize amorphous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and coordination polymers (CPs). This innovative approach is set to significantly enhance the functionality and complexity of colloidal materials, paving the way for new applications in technology and medicine.
