Microwave-assisted synthesis of porous materials is currently at the fore-front as an alternative to conventional heating methods due to less energy consumption, shorter synthesis time, uniform structure, increased phase purity and phase selectivity, narrow particle size distribution, and versatile composition of the resulting products. Microwave heating is believed to facilitate rapid energy transfer into the reaction system, accelerating the heating rate and consequent crystallization as well as the nucleation rate. This chapter encompasses the different aspects of microwave assisted synthesis of two popular porous materials, zeolites and metal–organic framework materials.
