1. An apparatus for producing metal organic frameworks, comprising:
a tubular flow reactor comprising a heated tubular body into which, in use, precursor compounds which form the metal organic framework are fed and flow, said tubular body including at least one annular loop comprising a coil; a flow restriction device comprising a back-pressure controller downstream of the tubular reactor for controlling the pressure within the tubular reactor; and an apparatus for separating a metal organic framework (MOF) from a solution, comprising:
a housing having a reservoir capable of receiving a MOF containing solution; anda high frequency ultrasound transducer operatively connected to the reservoir and capable of applying megasonic frequencies of at least 400 kHz to the MOF containing solution, wherein the precursor compounds are provided as at least one precursor solution fed into an inlet of the tubular reactor and heated during flow through the tubular body.
