Counter-cation modulation of hydrogen and methane storage in a sodalite-type porous metal-organic framework

Chem Commun (Camb). 2012 Dec 21;48(98):12002-4. doi: 10.1039/c2cc35461f.

Abstract

A μ(4)-Cl bridged anionic sodalite-type porous metal-organic framework (Et(2)NH(2))(3)[(Cu(4)Cl)(3)(TTCA)(8)]·26DEF was synthesized, in which Et(2)NH(2)(+) can be exchanged by Li(+) cations. The results of gas measurements indicate that Et(2)NH(2)(+) and Li(+) are beneficial for methane and hydrogen storage, respectively.
