Abstract
This paper gives a brief review of in situ diffraction studies (including Synchrotron and conventional X-ray, energy dispersive X-ray, and neutron techniques) for representative metal-organic framework (MOF) materials, both single-crystal and powder, with emphasis on the presence of guest molecules in the pores of these materials. A brief discussion of the apparatus, both custom-designed and commercially available, for carrying out in situ studies is included. Selected examples illustrate the mechanisms of guest adsorption, as well as characterization of disorder, CO2 attachment sites, gas selectivity, breathing behavior, guest-related phase transformations, and synthesis. Examples of guest molecules include CO2, H2O, N2, and N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF).
