Hootie and the blowgun effect : Quasi‐elastic neutron scattering experiments and MD simulations have been coupled to deepen our understanding of the diffusion mechanism for short‐length alkanes in the MIL‐47(V) MOF‐type material. All alkanes follow a 1D‐type diffusion, while a spectacular blowgun‐type diffusion has been evidenced for n‐ butane from a higher diffusivity at low loading of this alkane compared with propane.
