Metal organic framework (MOF) crystalline structures have emerged as promising materials due to their exceptional porosity and surface area. This study focuses on the solvothermal synthesis of MIL-125 nanoparticles, a specific MOF structure. A systematic investigation was conducted to explore the influence of key synthesis parameters, including residence time, temperature, precursor concentration, and reactor size, on the formation and properties of MIL-125 nanoparticles. By manipulating the nucleation window, defined by the interplay of thermodynamic and kinetic factors, we achieved well-defined, crystalline MIL-125 nanoparticles with tailored properties. Our findings provide valuable insights into optimization of MIL-125 synthesis to control the crystallinity and properties of the resulting MOF material for potential applications in catalysis, gas storage, sensing, and drug delivery.
