The typical scheme to activate MOFs is shown in Figure , which are accomplished in stages depending on the robustness of the MOF. Statistics about the last attempted methods to activate the MOFs are presented in Figure , for the successfully activated MOFs, and Figure for the collapsed MOFs. Apparently, solvent exchange is widely used to activate MOFs. More elaborations are presented in the Supporting Information (section S11,12). Severity of the solvent has also relation with the collapse encounter. The selected exchange-solvent has to possess either low surface tension or low boiling point. As shown in Figure , a perfect solvent is located at the bottom-left coroner of the map (surrounded by ellipse). While if a solvent is located at the top-right corner, it is advisable to exchange it with another solvent from the down valley before the evacuation.
