Highly selective carbon dioxide adsorption in a water-stable indium-organic framework material

Chem Commun (Camb). 2012 Oct 9;48(78):9696-8. doi: 10.1039/c2cc35068h.

Abstract

A metal-organic framework, with chiral 4(1) In(OH)(CO(2))(2) helix chains, exhibits a high CO(2) uptake under ambient conditions and outstanding selective separations of CO(2) from CH(4) or N(2). Its high stability toward humidity or even boiling water is confirmed by PXRD method.
