“…Besides, FTIR spectra of adsorbed speciîc probe molecules (e.g., CO, 100,101 CD 3 CN, 80,102 and pyridine 27,81,103 ) have been used to characterize coordinatively unsaturated metal sites, which are associated with missing linker defects. Recently, Gentile et al 104 reported a combination of the FTIR and Raman spectra of the HKUST-1 MOF with an ab initio theoretical analysis of the vibrational spectra to reveal spectroscopic signatures of framework defects.…”
