| pubmed-article:19101938 | pubmed:abstractText | Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are one of the most important classes of material in current chemistry. One open question is what is the mechanism of their crystal growth? In situ atomic force microscopy (see image) can be used to look at the surface of crystals as they grow, revealing a number of interesting features and giving clues to the molecular species that are important in the growth mechanism. | lld:pubmed |
