An EXAFS study of the formation of a nanoporous metal-organic framework: evidence for the retention of secondary building units during synthesis.
EXAFS data measured from amorphous intermediates and crystallisation solutions provides the first evidence that trimeric iron oxide secondary building units remain intact during crystallisation of the metal-organic framework MIL-89 from starting materials to products.
