What is claimed is:
1. A process for producing MIL-100(Al), wherein aluminum nitrate and trimesic acid are brought to react with one another in an alcohol/water mixture under the action of a base, wherein the base is selected from the group consisting of NH 3 , an NH 3 -releasing compound, and mixtures thereof.
2. The process according to claim 1 , wherein the base comprises the NH 3 -releasing compound and the NH 3 -releasing compound is selected from the group consisting of urea, urotropine, ammonium carbamate and mixtures thereof.
3. The process according to claim 1 , wherein urea is used as the base.
4. The process according to claim 1 , wherein the alcohol used is selected from the group consisting of polyhydric alcohols and mixtures of polyhydric alcohols.
5. The process according to claim 1 , wherein the alcohol and the water are used in a ratio of 98:2 to 20:80 vol. % at room temperature.
6. The process according to claim 1 , wherein the reaction is carried out at a temperature below 200° C.
7. The process according to claim 4 , wherein the alcohol used is selected from the group consisting of glycerol, 1,2-propanediol, 1,3-propanediol and mixtures thereof.
8. The process according to claim 5 , wherein the alcohol and the water are used in a ratio of 80:20 to 40:60 vol. % at room temperature.
9. The process according to claim 6 , wherein the reaction is carried out at a temperature below 160° C.
