Using a one pot microwave procedure, mixed-metal "egg yolk" MOFs are created, with a core of (Cr/V)-MIL-53 and a shell of Cr-MIL-53. In contrast, the solvothermal method produces homogeneous mixed-metal MOFs. The influence of Cr and V on the flexibility and breathing was studied via T-XRPD and CO2 adsorption measurements.
