Towards imaging electron density inside metal-organic framework structures.
Herein, we present electron density maps of three MOFs with different guests or post-synthetic modifications produced using single crystal X-ray data from laboratory diffractometers. Analysis of the electron density maps reveals possible differences inside the pores indicating that this approach may be used to explore frameworks using inexpensively gained X-ray data.
