The lack of clear dehydrated plateau for MOF-5 hinders the analysis of the TGA curve. Abánades Lázaro suggests taking the mass at 200 °C, which is in our case 92.6 % of the initial mass (indicated with horizontal line in Figure ). Following their method, this corresponds to a Rexp,DH of 2.32. We obtain values around 0.72 ligands per Zn with OH -and O 2-charge compensation, and 0.73 without charge compensation. Shearer et al.'s method, starting from the same mass at 200 °C yields 0.72. These values are in excellent agreement with our approach, which gave 0.73.
