A facile mechanochemical method was employed to accomplish one-pot encapsulation of anti-cancer drug 5-fluorouracil (5-FU as guest) in a metal-organic framework (HKUST-1 as host). Vibrational spectroscopy via inelastic neutron scattering was applied to probe guest-host interactions arising from nanoscale confinement. We compare 5-FU@HKUST-1 derived from in situ and ex situ encapsulation.
