On the move : High intracrystalline mobilities and fast exchange between the crystal and the surrounding gas phase were found in NMR studies on the diffusion of methane, ethane, n ‐hexane, and benzene in large crystals of the metal‐organic framework MOF‐5 (see SEM image). The results support future use of metal‐organic framework materials as tailorable sorbents for fast gas processing and gas‐storage materials in industry.
