Correlating structure and chemistry through simultaneous in situ pair distribution function and infrared spectroscopy measurements

Desorption of coordinated and non-coordinated guests from the nanoporous Prussian blue analogue Mn-3(II)[Co-III(CN)(6)](2)(H2O)(6)center dot x{H2O} was probed by simultaneous pair distribution function and infrared spectroscopy measurements. The combined data shows how the release of guests from different sites is coupled to structural relaxation of the framework.
