Formation of metal-organic frameworks

Abstract

In some embodiments, the present disclosure pertains to a method of forming metalorganic frameworks. In some embodiments, the method includes exposing a plurality of zerooxidation state metal atoms to an oxidizing agent. In some embodiments, the exposing facilitates oxidation of the plurality of zero-oxidation state metal atoms to a plurality of metallic ions. In some embodiments, the plurality of metallic ions react with a plurality of ligands to form the metal-organic frameworks. In some embodiments, the formed metal-organic frameworks comprise one or more metals and one or more ligands coordinated with the one or more metals.
