Despite great efforts, the development of a reliable way to assemble mesoporous metal-organic frameworks (mesoMOFs) remains a challenge. In this work, we have designed a cooperative template system, comprising a surfactant (cetyltrimethylammonium bromide) and a chelating agent (citric acid), for the generation of a mesoMOF containing a hierarchical system of mesopores interconnected with microspores. The surfactant molecules form micelles and the chelating agent bridges the MOF and the micelles, making self-assembly and crystal growth proceed under the direction of the cooperative template. However, when the surfactant or the chelating agent was applied individually, no mesoMOF was obtained.
尽管付出了巨大努力，但开发可靠的方法来组装介孔金属有机骨架（mesoMOFs）仍然是一个挑战。在这项工作中，我们设计了一种协同模板系统，由表面活性剂（十六烷基三甲基溴化铵）和螯合剂（柠檬酸）组成，用于生成包含介孔和微孔相互连接的分级系统的介孔 MOF。表面活性剂分子形成胶束，而螯合剂桥接 MOF 和胶束，使自组装和晶体生长在协同模板的指导下进行。然而，当单独使用表面活性剂或螯合剂时，无法获得介孔 MOF。
