A NbO-type metal–organic framework exhibiting high deliverable capacity for methane storage†
Abstract
A copper-based NbO-type metal–organic framework ZJNU-50 constructed from a tetracarboxylate incorporating phenylethyne as a spacer exhibited an exceptionally high methane working capacity of 184 cm3 (STP) cm−3 for methane storage. The value is among the highest reported for MOF materials.
