By using an infrared spectrometer and a homemade attachment made with a 3D printer, we succeeded in observing in situ the molecular introduction process and orientation state into the vacancies of MOF! The molecular alignment was named the "Oil Sardine Can Effect", and the research was led by JSPS Fellow Betti, who is a native German speaker and has been published in both the International edition and the German version of Angewandte Chemie. Betti is a native German speaker. This is the lab's first paper in German!
