In this work, the formation of a Zr-based metal–organic framework (MOF), Zr-fumarate MOF (Zr- fum MOF), is studied in situ by energy-dispersive diffraction. The Zr- fum MOF can be synthesised in DMF as well as in water-based synthesis systems. In both cases, its formation requires modulation, i.e. a...
