Morphology and structure of ZIF-8 during crystallisation measured by dynamic angle-resolved second harmonic scattering

Angle-resolved monitoring of structure parameters during crystal growth is often slow owing to mechanical movements. Here, the authors use second harmonic scattering and Fourier-plane imaging to dynamically monitor size, shape and concentration of ZIF-8 in situ during the growth process.
