Note that the scope of this review does not include a thorough discussion of the linker types. Depending on the type of analyte and the composition of the MOF, luminescence intensity

The molecules were modeled with one center segment to which three arms are attached. The beads are of equal size σb, so we will not distinguish them, but rather refer to them as the

To form the HKUST-1 surMOF, this substrate was then immersed in a codeposition solution containing both the inorganic (Cu(II) ions) and organic (trimesic acid) components in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). Deposition time and temperature were studied to understand the surMOF

• /bjnano.8.213 Abstract A chemical reaction (esterification) within a molecular monolayer at the liquid–solid interface without any catalyst was studied using ambient scanning tunneling microscopy. The monolayer consisted of a regular array of two species, an organic acid (trimesic acid) and an alcohol

Evidence that esterification takes place directly at the liquid–solid interface was strongly
