Mechanochemical conversion of a metal oxide into coordination polymers and porous frameworks using liquid-assisted grinding (LAG)

Tomislav Frii and László Fábián


Liquid-assisted grinding enabled the rapid and environmentally-friendly conversion of a simple and inexpensive metal oxide precursor into a variety of metal–organic materials, demonstrated by the quantitative construction of six coordination polymers and porous frameworks from a mixture of ZnO and fumaric acid.
