Abstract: Recent research on metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) has shown a shift from considering only the crystalline high-porosity phases to exploring their amorphous counterparts. Applying pressure to a crystalline MOF is a common method of amorphization, as MOFs contain large void spaces that can collapse, reducing the accessible surface area. This can be either a desired change or indeed an unwanted side effect of the application of pressure. In either case, understanding the MOF’s pressure response is extremely important. Three such MOFs with varying pore sizes (UiO-66, MOF-808, and NU-1000) were investigated using in situ high-pressure X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy. Partial crystallinity was observed in all three MOFs above 10 GPa, along with some recovery of crystallinity on return to ambient conditions if the frameworks were not compressed above thresholds of 13.3, 14.2, and 12.3 GPa for UiO-66, MOF-808, and NU-1000, respectively. This threshold was marked by an unexpected increase in one or more lattice parameters with pressure in all MOFs. Comparison of compressibility between MOFs suggests penetration of the pressure-transmitting oil into MOF-808 and NU-1000. The survival of some crystallinity above 10 GPa in all of these MOFs despite their differing pore sizes and extents of oil penetration demonstrates the importance of high-pressure characterization of known structures.
