Defects in MOFs: a thorough characterization

Chemphyschem. 2012 Jun 4;13(8):2025-9. doi: 10.1002/cphc.201200222. Epub 2012 Apr 19.

Abstract

As indicated by nearly perfect XRD data, but challenged by a two-signal IR spectrum of CO guest molecules, it is confirmed by computer simulations and XPS experiments that the most defect-free SURMOFs contain about 4% defective Cu sites.
