Initial hydrogen storage measurements were ∼0.45 and 3.75 weight percent at 293 K and 77 K respectively at 2 MPa. The values at 77 K seem to be the highest for MOFs after the contestation of previous results ( 3 ).

Initial introduction of semiconducting ZnS nanoparticles in the pores of MIL-101 was successfully achieved with a ZnS/Cr ratio close to 0.5.

Incorporation of ibuprofen within MIL-101 has been achieved in large amounts (∼1 g of drug per gram of MIL-101) with a total release of the drug within a few days.

We thank F. Taulelle and M. Haouas for collecting solid state NMR M. Latroche for hydrogen sorption measurements P. Mialane for providing the Keggin salt and for helpful discussions S. Floquet and E. Cadot for helpful discussion about the introduction of ZnS nanoparticles and P. Horcajada and M. Vallet-Regi for the drug incorporation study.
