Journal Article
Cliffe, M. J., Wan, W., Zou, X., Chater, P. A., Kleppe, A. K., Tucker, M. G., …Goodwin, A. L. (2014). Correlated defect nanoregions in a metal-organic framework. Nature Communications, 5, Article 4176. https://doi.org/10.1038/ncomms5176

Throughout much of condensed matter science, correlated disorder is a key to material function. While structural and compositional defects are known to exist within a variety of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), the prevailing understanding is that th...
