Ultrasound-Induced Switching of Sheetlike Coordination Polymer Microparticles to Nanofibers Capable of Gelating Solvents

Abstract

We herein demonstrate a new gelation mechanism based on a readily available coordination polymer {Zn(bibp)(2)(OSO(2)CF(3))(2)}(n), in which ultrasound changes the morphology of the material from sheetlike microparticles into nanofibers, resulting in the immobilization of organic solvents.
