Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the mechanical stability of two metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), MIL-100(Cr) and MIL-101(Cr), focusing on how the type of linker (tritopic vs. ditopic) influences this stability.
- Using advanced techniques like synchrotron X-ray diffraction and infrared spectroscopy, the researchers demonstrate that MIL-100(Cr) remains stable under high pressure while MIL-101(Cr) does not.
- The superior stability of MIL-100(Cr) is attributed to its greater linker connectivity, which enhances the structural integrity of the material, providing insights for designing more resilient MOFs.
The chromium terephthalate MIL-101 is a mesoporous metal-organic framework (MOF) with unprecedented adsorption capacities due to the presence of giant pores. The application of an external pressure can effectively modify the open structure of MOFs and its interaction with guest molecules. In this work, we study MIL-101 under pressure by synchrotron X-ray diffraction and infrared (IR) spectroscopy with several pressure transmitting media (PTM).
