How to make super latt(ic)e: Monodispersed octahedral microcrystals of a zirconium-carboxylate metal-organic framework (MOF), UiO-66, were synthesized, under optimized experimental conditions, by using acetic acid as a modulator. Due to their uniform size and shape, the obtained MOF microcrystals ca...
