The invention discloses a method for researching an MOF (
Metal Organic Framework) synthesis process by utilizing a low-field nuclear
magnetic imaging device, and belongs to the technical field of
material synthesis process analysis. The method comprises the following steps: firstly, preparing a
metal source solution and an organic ligand solution; one of the solutions is selected for low-field
nuclear magnetic resonance relaxation time measurement, and imaging sequence parameters are optimized; mixing the two solutions, and immediately putting the
mixed solution into a low-field nuclear
magnetic imaging device; and carrying out continuous relaxation time weighted imaging and layered relaxation time measurement on the reaction process by using the optimized imaging sequence. The lossless, in-situ, visual and quantitative monitoring of the
metal-organic framework material in the
nucleation, growth and
sedimentation process is realized by analyzing the change of
image signal intensity in time and space and the change trend of relaxation time (such as T2 value) of different liquid
layers along with time. According to the method, required equipment is simple, operation is convenient and fast, and an innovative research means is provided for deeply understanding the MOF synthesis mechanism and optimizing the synthesis process.
