XAFS and XRD analysis performed on chemically activated and collapsed PdIn-MOF samples to understand the structure of the resultant PdIn nanostuctures supported on C and used in alkyne semihydrogenation. Information on the samples studied can be found in Table 1 of the published article. The ascii data processed are plotted in origin and as a function of chemical and in situ (thermal) treatment. Some of the graphs in the origin files have been used in the main manuscript/supplementary data.
