a Projected view along the c axis and views of the one-dimensional channels in MFM-300, (metal, purple; carbon, grey; oxygen, red; hydrogen, white), b views of MFM-300(In), c MFM-300(V), d MFM-300(Fe), e MFM-300(Al). The pore dimensions were obtained using Material Studio software based on the CIFs of MFM-300 determined from X-ray diffraction experiments. The molecular structures for three xylene isomers are also included for comparison with the pore dimensions. The pore sizes are: MFM-300(Al) (6.5–6.3 Å), MFM-300(Fe) (6.8–6.6 Å), MFM-300(V) (7.0–6.8 Å), MFM-300(In) (7.4–7.2 Å). MFM-300(Al) has a slightly narrower pore than the dimensions of o- and m-xylene isomers, as illustrated.
