Metal precursors1 mM zinc acetate in ethanol
Linker precursors20 uM 5,15-diphenyl-10,20-di(4-carboxyphenyl)porphyrin (free-base porphyrin) in ethanol
Solventsethanol; acetone for substrate ultrasonic cleaning
AdditivesNone reported for MOF growth; 16-mercaptohexadecanoic acid used to functionalise Au substrates when required
AtmosphereN2 carrier gas during spray; ambient/room-temperature preparation otherwise reported.
Temperatureroom temperature
Substrate orientationFunctionalised substrates; FTO, glass, quartz, MHDA/Au, QCM glass, and Si used depending on measurement
Work-upSequential layer-by-layer spray deposition; pure ethanol rinse between precursor sprays for 5 s to remove unreacted species.
ActivationSubstrates cleaned in acetone for about 10 min and O2 plasma for about 30 min before growth; no post-synthetic activation reported.
Scalability contextMain text describes the spray-based LPE variant as allowing substrate sizes up to 10 x 10 cm2 and potential continuous processing.
