I prepared a metal-organic framework (MOF) modified TiO2 material at 500 centigrade the EDS and XPs results showed the existence of main elements like carbon, nitrogen etc that come from MOF. As I know the MOF decomposed at 300 centigrade then what are the possibilities of this type of material formation? Moreover, when pure MOF was calcined under same reaction condition then the material was not formed or not observed.

MOFs are complex framework, porous metal-organic structures, the decomposition of which upon heating depends on the chemical composition and arrangement of atoms. Therefore, each MOF has its own decomposition temperature, which cannot be determined theoretically. It is determined experimentally.
Kindly suggest some ways to determine their decomposition as I am concerned about the decomposition temperature.

1. Place the powder in a glass capillary and determine the decomposition temperature by heating slowly.
2. Determine using a device
