Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <bold>How to make super latt(ic)e</bold>: Monodispersed octahedral microcrystals of a zirconium‐carboxylate metal‐organic framework (MOF), UiO‐66, were synthesized, under optimized experimental conditions, by using acetic acid as a modulator. Due to their uniform size and shape, the obtained MOF microcrystals can be assembled not only into large‐area two‐dimensional (2D) monolayers with oriented facets through a liquid‐air interfacial assembly technique, but also into long‐range three‐dimensional (3D) superlattices by sedimentation.<boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgg1p9vhbkn" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
