Abstract
The templating effect of the Keggin polyanion derived from
phosphotungstic acid (PTA) during the synthesis of NH2-MIL-
101(Al) has been investigated by means of in situ SAXS/WAXS.
Kinetic analysis and structural observations demonstrate that
PTA acts as a nucleation site and that it stabilizes the precursor
phase NH2-MOF-235(Al). Surprisingly kinetics of formation
are little changed.
