title: Rapidly assessing the activation conditions and porosity of metal-organic frameworks using thermogravimetric analysis.
abstract: A methodology utilizing a thermogravimetric analyzer to monitor propane uptake following incremental increases of the temperature is demonstrated as a means of rapidly identifying porous materials and determining the optimum activation conditions of metal-organic frameworks.
