Abstract:
Hex nut: An emerging synthetic approach based on metal-organic coordination-polymer templates has been used to fabricate micro- and nanoscale crystals. By using a diverse range of molecular building blocks coupled with conventional synthetic techniques, it is possible to synthesize ZnO crystals with tailored sizes, shapes (such as hexagonal rings; see figure), and surface properties.
