A triply interpenetrated microporous metal-organic framework for selective sorption of gas molecules.
A microporous metal-organic framework Zn(ADC)(4,4'-Bpe)(0.5).xG [1; ADC = 4,4'-azobenzenedicarboxylate, 4,4'-Bpe = trans-bis(4-pyridyl)ethylene, G = guest molecules] with a triply interpenetrative primitive cubic net was synthesized and characterized. With pores of about 3.4 x 3.4 A, the activated 1a exhibits highly selective sorption behavior toward H(2)/N(2), H(2)/CO, and CO(2)/CH(4).
