Assembling Magneto-Responsive Metal-Organic Framework Long-Range Chains.

ABSTRACT: Template-assisted strategies provide control over the spatial arrangement, shape, and orientation of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). However, conventional approaches often rely on rigid templates or a soft polymer matrix to stabilize materials by adhering or wrapping MOF microparticles, which compromises the accessible porosity of MOFs and yields a random spatial organization. Here, we introduce a novel magnetic template method that produces freestanding, chain-like clusters of a 2D MOF, magnetically active zeolitic imidazolate framework (MZIF-L), on a large macroscopic scale. Preassembled magnetic nanoparticle (MNP) chains, formed under the influence of an external magnetic field, act as field-aligned nucleation centers, directing the interfacial growth of similarly oriented leaf-shaped
