| Abstract: | A new metal–organic framework (MOF), Zn(ATA)(bpd)]∝ ( 1Zn ) (ATA: 2‐aminoterephthalic acid; bpd: 1,4‐bis(4‐pyridyl)‐2,3‐diaza‐1,3‐butadiene), exhibiting a three‐dimensional extended porous structure was successfully assembled in a MeOH–H2O solvent system. Under various controlled conditions, 1Zn was obtained in a variety of morphologies such as microspheres, microblocks, microsheets, microplates and microrods. The catalytic performance of the 1Zn microsized MOF was evaluated, and a possible catalytic mechanism was proposed. The flexibility of this MOF assembly strategy for shape control will certainly enhance new potential applications of micro?/nano?MOFs. |
