Effect of Loading on the Water Stability of the Metal-Organic Framework DMOF-1 [Zn(bdc)(dabco)

In this work, the degradation of the metal-organic framework (MOF) DMOF-1 as a function of water adsorption was investigated. As the quantity of water vapor adsorbed by DMOF-1 increases, degradation of the MOF from hydrolysis accelerates. Degradation was attributed to clustering of water molecules in the void space of DMOF-1, as seen in
