An interpenetrated framework material with hysteretic CO(2) uptake.
A new, twofold interpenetrated metal-organic framework (MOF) material has been synthesized that demonstrates dramatic steps in the adsorption and hysteresis in the desorption of CO(2). Measurement of the structure by powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) and pair distribution function (PDF) analysis indicates that structural changes upon CO(2) sorption most likely involve the interpenetrated frameworks moving with respect to each other.
