Abstract

We elucidate two annealing assisted mechanochemical methods to achieve one-pot encapsulation of anti-cancer drug 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) in the iron-based MIL-100 metal–organic framework (MOF). We compare the structural and physicochemical properties of drug@MIL-100 systems derived from in situ manual and vortex grinding, where the former technique exhibits a slower drug release due to stronger guest–host interactions.
