Abstract
A Mn<sup>2+</sup>-based metal–organic
framework (coordination
porous framework-5, CPF-5) can serve as a crystalline sponge for single
crystal X-ray structural characterization of a variety of compounds
using a combination of coordinative alignment and second coordination
sphere interactions (e.g., hydrogen bonding). This technique requires
only a conventional X-ray source to obtain high quality crystallographic
data
