Molecular motion in the nanospace of MOFs upon gas adsorption investigated by in situ Raman spectroscopy.Molecular motions taking place in the nanospace of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are an interesting research subject, although not yet fully investigated.  In this work, we utilized in situ Raman spectroscopy in the ultralow-frequency region to investigate the libration motion (including the rotational motion of phenylene rings) of MOFs, in particular [Cu2(bdc)2(dabco)] (Cu-JAST-1), where bdc = 1,4-benzenedicarboxylate and dabco = 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane.
