Metal‐Oxide Nanoparticles with Desired Morphology Inherited from Coordination‐Polymer Precursors

The "escape-by-crafty-scheme" strategy is an efficient approach to prepare metal-oxide nanomaterials with desirable morphology and crystal planes inherited from coordination-polymer nanoparticle precursors, which can be designed and finely tuned by soft chemical assembly of metal ions and organic ligands at the molecular level (see scheme; ptcda=perylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxylic dianhydride).
