Abstract: Organic Frameworks is the 3D porous materials that have been rapidly developed since 21st century, among which metal organic frameworks (MOFs) is so far the most well-known category in the family of organic frameworks.In recent decades, covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have also shown the great potential in the applications of gas absorption, chemical separation, catalysis, and energy storage and conversion, etc.Such applications are closely related to the physical and chemical properties of MOFs and COFs, which are determined by their crystal structures.Therefore, understanding the structure-property relationships from the level of atomic arrangement becomes crucial for a desired application.However, due to the interplay of nucleation and crystal growth processes, numerous cases have shown that it is often not easy to obtain large enough and well-ordered MOFs/COFs crystals for conventional in-house single crystal x-ray diffraction (SC-XRD) experiment.On the other hand, many MOFs/COFs crystals are relatively instable which undergo quick structure transitions during the SC-XRD data collections.
