Structural changes of porous hybrid inorganic-organic ZIF-8 compound has been explored by hyperpolarized 129Xe NMR of adsorbed xenon at various temperatures. Upon xenon adsorption at low temperature, the organic linkers undergo a reorientation leading to a stepwise increase in xenon adsorption and in chemical shift
