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.
Unter Druck: Die erste kristallographische Untersuchung des Metall‐organischen Gerüsts MOF‐5 unter hohem Druck ergab als erste Folge der Druckzunahme, dass das druckübertragende Fluid in die Poren gepresst wird. Bei weiterer Druckerhöhung nahm der Poreninhalt erheblich ab, weil Lösungsmittel aus den Poren austrat, und bei Drücken oberhalb von 3.2 GPa ging schließlich die Kristallinität vollständig verloren.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
