XRD of Synthesized Cu-5abdc and Cu-5abdc-NH2 MOFs
Description
The data reveals an X-ray Diffraction pattern (XRD) of two synthesized metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), Cu-5abdc and Cu-5abdc-NH2. The peaks observed for the MOFs indicate they are crystalline. Both MOFs had some similar crystalline peaks which matched copper oxide (Cu2O). There were several other unidentified different peaks for each MOF crystal. The show up of Cu2O in the search and match confirms the formation of bonds between copper and 5-amino benzene -1, 3 -dicarboxylic acid to form the MOFs.

Steps to reproduce
X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) analysis was performed to study the crystal phase for the organic linkers and the various synthesised complex compounds. The XRD analysis was executed using the Empyrean X-ray Diffractometer. The sample powder was packed tightly into the sample holder and scanned from 10o to 70o at 2 theta angle (2Ɵ) ` 48 geometry using Cu-Kα radiation at 45 kV 20 mA. The pattern obtained from the detector was analyzed using high score plus software to do a search match to identify sample peaks.
