Abstract

Nanoparticles of a copper-based layered coordination polymer, STAM-2, have been prepared via an ultrasound mediated transformation from a layered metal-organic framework, STAM-1. The structure of the material was then solved using pair distribution function analysis to identify the structural units present and the final structural model refined against the pair distribution function data.
