Reaction temperature is one of the key parameters in the synthesis of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). Though there is no convergence with regard to the various experimental parameters, reaction temperature has been found to have remarkable influence on the formation and structure of MOFs, especially toward the control of topology and dimensionality of the MOF structures. Theoretically, the reaction temperature affects directly the reaction energy barrier in reaction thermodynamics and the reaction rate in the reaction kinetics. This review aims to show the influence of reaction temperature on crystal growth/assembly, structural modulation and transformation of MOFs, and to provide primary information and insights into the design and assembly of desired MOFs.
