The Effect of High Pressure on MOF-5: Guest-Induced Modification of Pore Size and Content at High Pressure

Grace under pressure: In the first high‐pressure crystallographic study on the metal–organic framework MOF‐5, increasing pressure initially results in the pressure‐transmitting fluid being squeezed into the pores. Further pressure increase causes a large reduction in pore content as solvent is evacu...

Description
Summary:Grace under pressure: In the first high‐pressure crystallographic study on the metal–organic framework MOF‐5, increasing pressure initially results in the pressure‐transmitting fluid being squeezed into the pores. Further pressure increase causes a large reduction in pore content as solvent is evacuated from the pores, until a complete loss of crystallinity is observed at pressures above 3.2 GPa.
