N2 - Probes sensitive to mechanical stress are in high demand for analyzing pressure distributions in materials. Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are especially promising for designing pressure sensors due to their structural tunability. In this work, using classical molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, we clarified the mechanism of exceptional pressure sensitivity of the material based on the UiO-66 framework with a trace amount of spin probes encapsulated in cavities. The role of defects in the MOF structure has been revealed using a combination of electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy and MD calculations, and potential degradation pathways under mechanical stress have been proposed. The combined MD and EPR study provides valuable insights for further development of new MOF-based sensors applicable for non-destructive pressure mapping in various materials.
