Non-exponential processing is vital for quantifying signal intensity when dealing with gaussian or sinc-gaussian curves. The processing method reported by Guo et al. processes the nonexponential part of the decay and the exponential part separately to generate composite correlation plots to achieve accurate quantifiable results with non-exponential decays, or a combination of exponential and non-exponential decays. MR measurements are direct measurements of the nuclei under study, 1 H in this case, and the processed signal intensity should be directly proportional to the 1 H content of the sample. In our study, the hydrogen signal of materials before milling and after milling is conserved as established in both of our MOF reactions milled in labmade Teflon jars. The synthesis of ZIF-8 and its conservation of signal is demonstrated in figure .
