BTC in a fragment of modified paddlewheel b). Two DLs and two HBTC in a fragment of missing<br />

The combined spectroscopic characterization data (XANES, XPS, UHV-FTIR with CO and<br />
CO2 as probes) presented above suggest more or less consistent, but complicated picture<br />
on the abundance of the two kinds of defects. Overall, we assume both types A and B being<br />
simultaneously generated in the Ru-DEMOFs in the case of coordinative weakly binding<br />
ligator-sites at the fragmented linkers. Type A appears to be favored at low incorporation<br />
levels, e.g. 1a (8%) and becomes more abundant up to a certain threshold, e.g. 1c (32%).<br />
Along with a further increase of incorporation level, e.g. 1d (37%), defects of type B
