Approaching the glass transition, the slowing down of molecular dynamics generally proceeds much stronger than expected for thermally activated motions. This can be ascribed to a temperature-dependent activation energy arising from the cooperative motion of increasing numbers of molecules at low temperatures [1]. The number of correlated molecules can be controlled by confining the glass-forming liquid in small pores. Previously, glass formers have been confined in porous glasses, zeolites and other silicates [2]. Recently, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have become available. This class of porous coordination polymers consists of metal-containing units and organic linkers. MOFs are tunable in many regards [3], thus allowing confinement in pores of different inner surfaces and varying sizes. Here, we present broadband dielectric spectroscopy data of glycerol and water confined in different MOFs, of the MFU-type [4]. It is shown that MOFs are well-suited for the measurement of confined liquids.
