Vapor phase inclusion of ferrocene and its derivative in a microporous metal-organic porous material and its structural characterization by single crystal X-ray diffraction

Abstract

The inclusion of ferrocene and its derivative in metal - organic porous material MOF-5 is achieved by vapor diffusion; single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies using synchrotron radiation of ferrocene-loaded MOF-5 reveal well-ordered guest molecules packed into the pores.
