In this work, we show a solvent-free "explosive" synthesis (SFES) method for the ultrafast and low-cost synthesis of metal-formate frameworks (MFFs). A combination of experiments and in-depth molecular modelling analysis - using grand canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) simulations - of the adsorption performance of the synthesized nickel-formate framework (Ni-FA) revealed extremely high quality products with permanent porosity, prominent CH/N selectivity (ca. 6.0), and good CH adsorption capacity (ca. 0.80 mmol g or 33.97 cm cm) at 1 bar and 298 K. This performance is superior to those of many other state-of-the-art porous materials.
