Control of the nucleation and growth processes of metal-organic frameworks using a metal ion-doped polymer substrate for the construction of continuous films

We herein demonstrate a novel concept for the one-pot synthesis of metal-organic framework (MOF) films on a metal ion-doped polymer substrate based on control of the nucleation and growth processes. This strategy allows the ready fabrication of densely-packed uniform MOF films.
