    Abstract: Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are highly porous entities comprising a multidentate ligand coordinated to multiple metal atoms, typically as a coordination polymer. MOFs are usually produced in powder form. Extrusion of powder-form MOFs to produce shaped bodies has heretofore proven difficult due to loss of surface area and poor crush strength of MOF extrudates, in addition to phase transformations occurring during extrusion. The choice of mixing conditions and the mixing solvent when forming MOF extrudates can impact these factors. Extrudates comprising a MOF consolidated material may feature the MOF consolidated material having a BET surface area of about 50% or greater relative to that of a pre-crystallized MOF powder material used to form the extrudate. X-ray powder diffraction of the extrudate shows about 20% or less conversion of the MOF consolidated material into a phase differing from that of the pre-crystallized MOF powder material.
