The
single-crystal X-ray diffraction method was employed to characterize
a rigid hydrated metal–organic framework (MOF), [Co2(MA)(INA)·2H2O]
n
, that
displays an affinity toward water molecules under ambient conditions
after dehydration. The fully dehydrated form was obtained using an
environmental gas cell technique in a stepwise manner followed by
its CO2-pressurized structure at 298 K using in situ crystallography.
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.
