Geometric switching of linear to area negative thermal expansion in uniaxial metal-organic frameworks
Using variable-temperature neutron powder diffraction measurements, we show that the two quartz-like metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) deuterium indium(iii) terephthalate and zinc(ii) isonicotinate exhibit anisotropic positive and negative thermal expansion (PTE/NTE) behaviour. Whereas in the former t...
