Large-Scale Synthesis of Monodisperse UiO-66 Crystals with Tunable Sizes and Missing Linker Defects via Acid/Base Co-Modulation.Beyond their pore structures and surface chemistry, precise controls over other attributes of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) such as shapes, sizes, and defects are also favorable to their fundamental studies and applications but still remain challenging.  Herein, we reported an acid/base co-modulation strategy to the large-scale synthesis of monodisperse UiO-66 crystals with acetic acid for modulating crystal shape and with triethylamine (TEA) as a base for controlling the nucleation of crystallization and tuning the formation of missing linker defects via promoting presumably the singe deprotonation of terephthalic acid linkers.
