the as-synthesized Ru-MOF samples were soaked in a large amount of (coordinatively)<br />

more inert solvent (water or ethanol, 80-100 ml) and stirred (for an average of 4 h) in<br />

order to wash out or replace strongly coordinated/adsorbed acetic or pivalic acid.<br />

Subsequently, the solvent was replaced by fresh portion and the samples were left<br />

standing overnight. This “solvent exchange” was repeated for each sample three times.<br />

Afterwards the samples were collected and dried under ambient conditions. The washed<br />

and dried samples (1-4_ex) were then “typically” treated again according to the<br />

established activation procedure for Ru-MOF: heating at 150 °C for 24 h under dynamic<br />

vacuum (ca. 10 -3 bar) in order to finally remove all adsorbed solvent and residual guests.<br />
