S5. Stability analysis
The kinetics of degradation from the solids were adjusted using non-linear regressions in order to understand their
behaviour. For Zr-L1 to Zr-L8 in PBS, and Zr-L2 to Zr-L7 in H2O the profile was adjusted to a simple hyperbola
model [1]:
N (wt. %)= 𝑁𝑚𝑎𝑥 t
(𝑡1/2 + t) [1]
where N is the amount of linker released from the solid, Nmax is the maximum amount released, t is time in days
and t1/2 is the time needed to get half of the maximum amount delivered.
For Zr-L1 in H2O it was not possible to adjust the delivery to a simple curve. Instead, we used a hyperbola model
considering two different release stages [2]:
N (wt. %)= 𝑁max(1) t
(𝑡1/2(1) + t)+ N2𝑡 + 𝑎 [2]
where Nmax and t1/2 are considered for the first stage of delivery and N2 and a are the slope and intercept of the
linear part of the release.
For Zr-L8 in H2O, we used a hyperbola model considering a slope factor or Hill slope, which is related with the
interactions material-solvent [3]:
N (wt. %)= 𝑁maxt^h
(𝑡1/2^h + t^h) [3]
where Nmax is the maximum amount released, t is time in days and t1/2 is the time needed to get half of the
maximum amount delivered and h is the Hill slope.
Figure S4 and Tables S1 show the fitting of the degradation in PBS and H2O of the materials.

S10. Delivery profiles from crystalline and amorphous Zr-based family
The kinetics of calcein and -CHC delivery from crystalline and amorphous solids were adjusted using non-linear
regressions in order to understand the release behaviour. For the calcein loaded Zr-L3 to Zr-L6, amZr-L3 and amZr-
L6 materials the delivery was adjusted to a simple hyperbola model [4]:
N (wt. %)= 𝑁𝑚𝑎𝑥 t
(𝑡1/2 + t) [4]
where N is the amount released from the total drug-loaded amount in weight percent, Nmax is the maximum
amount released, t is time in days and t1/2 is the time needed to get half of the maximum amount delivered.
For the calcein loaded Zr-L2, amZr-L2, amZr-L4, amZr-L5 and all the -CHC loaded materials (crystalline and
amorphous) it was not possible to adjust the delivery to a simple curve. Instead, we used a hyperbola model
considering two different release stages [5]:
N (wt. %)= 𝑁max(1) t
(𝑡1/2(1) + t)+ N2𝑡 + 𝑎 [5]
where Nmax and t1/2 are considered for the first stage of delivery and N2 and a are the slope and intercept of the
linear part of the release.
Figure S8 and Tables S2 and S3 show the fitting of the experimental release and fitting parameters, respectively,
for calcein loaded and -CHC loaded materials. In both cases, as it was possible to detect the calcein and -CHC
delivered form all the amorphous materials it is possible to conclude that the ball-milling process is not provoking
the release of guest molecules.
