Abstract:
Photoacoustic Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy makes it possible to determine the organic composition of mixed-linker metal-organic frameworks. The sound produced upon IR irradiation enables the discrimination of azido and amino linkers in three different MOF platforms with a sensitivity that is two orders of magnitude higher than that achieved using classic IR analysis.
