“…Most defects reported are related to the heterogeneity of building blocks, such as mixed cationic units (Brozek and Dincă, 2013;Szilágyi et al, 2013) or linkers (Deng et al, 2010;Karagiaridi et al, 2012;Szilágyi et al, 2014). It has, however, recently emerged that, similar to other materials classes, MOFs display a range of lattice defects (Fang et al, 2015), such as vacancies (Vermoortele et al, 2012a;Wu et al, 2013), surface defects (Choi et al, 2008;Ameloot et al, 2013), dislocations (Shöâeè et al, 2008;Walker and Slater, 2008), and defect voids (Whittington et al, 2014). More importantly, the physical and chemical impact of MOF defects has begun to be recognized (Bueken et al, 2014;Cliffe et al, 2014;Fang et al, 2014;Whittington et al, 2014;Ren et al, 2015).…”
