Selective CO2adsorption and proton conductivity in the two-dimensional Zn(ii) framework with protruded water molecules and flexible ether linkers

Abstract

A two-dimensional (2D) Zn(II) metal–organic framework with flexible aryl ether linkers and water molecules exposed to the pores was prepared. The supramolecular three-dimensional (3D) network is generated by the presence of extensive π–π contacts, which could be responsible for gas uptake. The water molecules and oxygen atoms from the flexible linkers create a polar environment within the integrated framework, leading to simultaneous selective CO2 adsorption and proton conductivity in the two-dimensional Zn(II) framework.
