Crystal engineering, the design and synthesis of supramolecular metal-organic frameworks is frontier field in research, not only for their variety of architectures and interesting molecular topologies but also because of their potential applications in zeolite-like catalysts, host-guest chemistry, gas storage, ion exchange, molecular recognition, photonic materials and magnetic. High quality crystals of metal-organic coordination compounds, such as those suitable for single-crystal X-ray diffraction measurements, can usually be obtained by a variety of approaches using wet solution chemistry solvothermal methods [1]. High-energy ultrasound irradiation has been used for the synthesis of a zinc(II) MOF, Zn2(Zn_TCPP)3H2O.2DMF (1), (TCPP) = tetrakis (4-carboxyphenyl) porphyrin in nano scale [2-3]. The nano-structure was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD), FTIR and elemental analyses. The utilization of high intensity ultrasound has found as a facile, environmentally friendly, and versatile synthetic tool for the coordination compounds [4-5].
