Abstract
Thin metal-organic framework films grown in a layer-by-layer manner have been the subject of growing interest. Herein we investigate one of the most popular frameworks, the type HKUST-1. Firstly, we show a special synthesis procedure resulting in quick but optically perfect growth. This enables the synthesis of films of excellent optical quality within a short timeframe. Secondly and most importantly, we address the known, but not fully understood observation that the expected growth rate of one monolayer per cycle is strongly exceeded, e.g. by a factor of 4. This is an often-ignored inconsistency in the literature. We offer a growth model using a reconstruction process in every cycle leading to a deterministic reconstruction-by-reconstruction (RbR) cycle growth with a 4-times higher growth rate. It represents an up-to-now hidden chemical assembly mechanism.
期刊介绍：
ChemPhysChem is one of the leading chemistry/physics interdisciplinary journals (ISI Impact Factor 2018: 3.077) for physical chemistry and chemical physics. It is published on behalf of Chemistry Europe, an association of 16 European chemical societies.
ChemPhysChem is an international source for important primary and critical secondary information across the whole field of physical chemistry and chemical physics. It integrates this wide and flourishing field ranging from Solid State and Soft-Matter Research, Electro- and Photochemistry, Femtochemistry and Nanotechnology, Complex Systems, Single-Molecule Research, Clusters and Colloids, Catalysis and Surface Science, Biophysics and Physical Biochemistry, Atmospheric and Environmental Chemistry, and many more topics. ChemPhysChem is peer-reviewed.
