In situ NMR and DFT modeling demonstrate that N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) promotes the formation of metal-organic framework NH2-MIL-101(Al). In situ NMR studies show that upon dissociation of an aluminum-coordinated aqua ligand in NH2-MOF-235(Al), DMF forms a H-Cl-DMF complex during synthesis. This reaction induces a transformation from the MOF-235 topology into the MIL-101 topology. Electronic structure density functional theory (DFT) calculations show that the use of DMF instead of water as th ...[more]
