Atomistic structures and dynamics of prenucleation clusters in MOF-2 and MOF-5 syntheses

Numerous techniques have been used to study the crystallization process of metal-organic frameworks, but little is known about their prenucleation clusters. Here the authors use single-molecule atomic-resolution real-time electron microscopic video imaging to identify prenucleation clusters in the s...
