Disclosed herein is a method of making a porous molecular structure from a solution comprising an insoluble metal containing material and a ligand-providing material. In some embodiments, the porous molecular structure can be a Metal-Organic Framework (MOF). Ionic metal salts are the most common type of metal source for MOF production, but dissolution of metal salts complicates solvent recycling and creates corrosion and oxidation issues through evolved nitrate and chloride anions. Elucidating information that leads toward more efficient production of these versatile nanomaterials, while extending the knowledge base of how MOFs form during reaction, is critical to advancing MOF materials into large-scale use. Disclosed herein are improved methods for controlled synthesis of porous molecular structures such as MOFs comprising a solution-based synthesis with insoluble metallic precursor.
