Appearing in the pages of the Journal of Physical Chemistry C this month is a collaboration between the Ennis and Meledandri workgroups interrogating the gas adsorption and thermal properties of Cu(II)BTC MOF nonparticles with synchrotron far-infrared and periodic DFT. Here we prevent peculiar, temperature dependent, structural changes between HKUST-1 polymorphs; revealed by low frequency lattice and torsional modes. Thanks to Subo Lee at Massey for some additional characterisation.
