a X-ray structure factor for MIL-100 (blue) and Fe-BTC (orange), inset shows the low-Q region. Total scattering data on MIL-100 reproduced from ref. 34. b X-ray PDF for MIL-100 (blue) and Fe-BTC (orange), obtained via the Fourier transform of the data in (a). Inset shows low-r region. c Calculated PDF for a single trimer unit, structure shown inset. d Calculated PDF for a single tetrahedral assembly, structure shown inset. e An amorphous model is obtained following the polymerisation of the metal nodes and linker, saturation and annealing steps. Hydrogens have been omitted.
