The synthesis of bimetallic MOFs can be achieved through several methods: - Direct Synthesis: Incorporating two different metal ions during the initial synthesis process. - Post-Synthetic Modification: Introducing a second metal ion into an already formed monometallic MOF. - Sequential Build-Up: Constructing the framework layer by layer, allowing precise placement of different metals.
Each method has its own advantages and challenges, influencing the final properties of the MOF.
