a Time-dependent solid−vapor sorption plots of H-TCNBα for single-component Bz and Cy vapors. Inset showed the color changes of H-TCNBα after adsorption of Bz and Cy vapors. b PXRD patterns of H-TCNBα: (I) original H-TCNBα, (II) after adsorption of Cy vapor, (III) after adsorption of Bz vapor. c Normalized time-dependent diffuse reflectance spectra of H-TCNBα exposed to Bz vapor. d Time-dependent solid−vapor sorption plots of H-TCNBα for single-component Tol and Py vapors. Inset showed the color changes of H-TCNBα after adsorption of Tol and Py vapors. e PXRD patterns of H-TCNBα: (I) original H-TCNBα, (II) after adsorption of Py vapor, (III) after adsorption of Tol vapor. f Normalized time-dependent diffuse reflectance spectra of H-TCNBα exposed to Tol vapor.
