Abstract

Reducing the particle size of the metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) MIL-68(In) and ZIF-8 leads to increased adsorption of volatile semiochemical guests. Opposing trends were observed in release dynamics, with the release rate of isobutyl acetate increasing with particle size for MIL-68(In) and decreasing for ZIF-8, which can be attributed to the lower diffusion barriers through channels in comparison to moving between discrete pores.
