Selective nucleation and growth of metal-organic open framework thin films on patterned COOH/CF3-terminated self-assembled monolayers on Au(111)

J Am Chem Soc. 2005 Oct 12;127(40):13744-5. doi: 10.1021/ja053523l.

Abstract

Metal-Organic open Framework coordination polymers (MOFs) are a fascinating class of materials. We demonstrate the selective growth of patterned thin films of MOF-5 and the subsequent loading with a palladium organic compound, which acts as a precursor for the deposition of palladium nanoclusters inside the cavities of the MOF-5 material.
