Gas–Solid Two-Phase Flow Synthesis Equipment: A New Method for Continuous, Large-Scale Preparation of Metal–Organic Frameworks with No Solvent

Here, we demonstrated the continuous synthesis of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) (ZnBTeC/MnBTeC/Ni4[(phen)2(BeTC)]/Co4[(phen)2(BeTC)]) by using a brand new device—gas–solid two-phase flow synthesis equipment. Quantitative conversions occurred to give products at 60 kg h–1 rates. The single-crystal X-ray diffraction validated the precise structure of these MOFs. Also, it should be noted that the reactions were performed under completely solvent-free conditions. In addition, kinetic analysis was carried out to study the reaction mechanisms.
