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