A highly robust metal-organic framework based on an aromatic 12-carboxyl ligand with highly selective adsorption of CO2 over CH4

Chem Commun (Camb). 2015 Jun 11;51(46):9463-6. doi: 10.1039/c5cc01281c.

Abstract

A highly robust MOF based on a 12-carboxyl dendritic aromatic ligand and two Cd clusters is successfully synthesized. This activated MOF exhibits high heat of absorption of CO2 and highly selective adsorption of CO2 over CH4. Especially, a new type of topology (hhm-a) is presented.
