Direct observation of adsorbed H2-framework interactions in the Prussian Blue analogue MnII3[CoIII(CN)6]2: The relative importance of accessible coordination sites and van der Waals interactions

Karena W. Chapman, Peter J. Chupas, Evan R. Maxey and James W. Richardson


Selective recovery of the guest–framework interactions for H2 adsorbed in a nanoporous Prussian Blue analogue, through differential X-ray and neutron pair distribution function analysis at ca. 77 K, suggests that the H2 molecule is disordered about a single position at the centre of the pore, (¼,¼,¼), without binding at accessible MnII sites.
