Abstract:A perfect combination: The association of a chromium(III) trimeric building unit and 1,3,5‐benzenetricarboxylate led to the powdered solid MIL‐100. Simulations provided a crystal structure solution, which matched the experimental powder XRD pattern. This unique simulation/diffraction combination allowed the structure determination of a giant‐pore solid with a zeotype architecture, built up from hybrid supertetrahedra (see picture).
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.
