The dynamic response of a flexible indium based metal–organic framework to gas sorption

Abstract

A doubly interpenetrated microporous indium based metal–organic framework was solvothermally synthesized, in which cage-like pores and one-dimensional channels coexist. Due to its flexible nature, the complex exhibits a novel dynamic response to N₂, Ar and CO₂ sorption. Furthermore, the material shows a high H₂ uptake capacity.
