Abstract

The present invention relates to a process for preparing a porous metal-organic framework comprising at least one at least bidentate organic compound coordinated to at least one metal ion, where the at least one metal ion is based on an aluminum ion and the at least one at least bidentate organic compound is based on fumaric acid, by reacting at least one aluminum compound with at least fumaric acid in an alkaline aqueous medium, optionally in the presence of at least one base, at a temperature in the range from 20° C. to 100° C. at an absolute pressure of not more than 2 bar for from 0.2 to 4 hours.
