Synthesis of the biocompatible and highly stable MIL-127(Fe): from large scale synthesis to particle size control

Controlled-sized crystals, from the nano to the microscale, of the biocompatible and highly stable porous iron(III) 3,3,′5,5′-azobenzenetetracarboxylate MIL-127(Fe) MOF have been successfully prepared with very high space-time-yields using different synthetic routes.
