Inside Cover: Exploiting Reaction‐Diffusion Conditions to Trigger Pathway Complexity in the Growth of a MOF (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 29/2021)

Abstract

How do you unveil pathway complexity in a crystallization process? In their Research Article on page 15920, Alessandro Sorrenti, Marco D′Abramo, Guillermo Mínguez Espallargas, Josep Puigmartí-Luis, and co-workers show that harnessing a reaction–diffusion (RD) process within a continuous flow microfluidic device, and on a millisecond timescale, is key to enable two unprecedented nucleation–growth pathways during a MOF synthesis.
