Abstract

We demonstrate a mechanochemical strategy that allowed the first successful mechanosynthesis of IRMOFs based on an oxo-centred secondary building unit (SBU). The presented study indicates that controlling the acid–base relationship between reagents is key to mechanochemical synthesis of IRMOFs, revealing a pre-assembled oxo-zinc amidate cluster as an efficient precursor for IRMOF mechanosynthesis.
