Figure 7.7 (a) Mechanochemical LAG reaction of copper( II ) acetate and isonicotinic acid yields discrete hydrated complexes that can be

dehydrated to form the porous MOF Cu(ina) 2 by LAG with methanol. 73 (b) Mechanochemical synthesis of a complex metal-
organic material by combining three levels of self-assembly in a one-pot multi-component mechanochemical reaction:
formation of coordination bonds, hydrogen bond-driven self-assembly and formation of a lattice inclusion compound via
weak non-covalent interactions. 74 (c) One-pot synthesis of the Zn(salen) complex by sequential formation of covalent bonds
followed by coordination bonds and (d) analogous process conducted quantitatively in a one-pot ''all-at-once'' manner. 76
