We report two solvent-free mechanochemical methods to achieve one‑pot encapsulation of anti-cancer drug 5‑Fluorouracil (5‑FU) in the iron-based MIL‑100 metal-organic framework (MOF). We compare the structural and physicochemical properties of drug@MIL‑100 systems derived from <i>in situ </i>manual and vortex grinding, where the former exhibits a slower drug release due to stronger guest-host interactions.
