TL;DR: Diffraction measurements indicate that all four MOFs adsorb DMMP within the pore space, and the combination of X-ray absorption and infrared spectra suggests direct coordination of DMMP to the Zr6 cores of all MOFs, which ultimately leads to decomposition to phosphonate products.

TL;DR: In this paper, the mechanism and kinetics of interactions between DMMP and Zr6-based metal organic frameworks (MOFs) have been investigated with in situ infrared spectroscopy (IR), X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS), powder Xray diffraction (PXRD), and DFT calculations.

TL;DR: In this article, BTX compounds in the pore environment of UiO-66 were systematically examined using in situ infrared (IR) spectroscopy to understand the fundamental interactions that influence molecular transport through the MOF.

TL;DR: The major factors that govern the mass transport of molecules through MOFs at both the intracrystalline and intercrystalline scale are discussed; an overview of the experimental and computational methods used to measure guest diffusivity within MOFs are provided; and the relevance of mass transfer in the applications of MOFs in electrochemical systems, separations, and heterogeneous catalysis is highlighted.

TL;DR: Overall, the collaborative effort has provided insight into the fundamental aspects of agent-material interactions and revealed strategies for new catalyst development.
