🔓 Read #OpenAccess work by Richard I. Walton and colleagues at @uni-of-warwick.bsky.social reporting solvent induced structural transformation of a cerium(III) 2,5-furandicarboxylate metal–organic framework.💡

🔗 doi.org/10.1039/D5CE... 🧪
A Ce(III) 2,5-furandicarboxylate framework forms under solvothermal conditions in N,N-dimethylformamide; subsequent expose to water leads to recrystallisation into a structurally distinct coordination polymer.
