High and selective CO2 uptake in a cobalt adeninate metal-organic framework exhibiting pyrimidine- and amino-decorated pores.
The synthesis and structure of Co(2)(ad)(2)(CO(2)CH(3))(2) x 2 DMF x 0.5 H(2)O (bio-MOF-11) is described. Pyrimidine and amino groups of adeninate (ad) decorate the pores of the framework. The porosity of this material was studied, and its CO(2) and H(2) adsorption properties were evaluated. bio-MOF-11 exhibits a high heat of adsorption for CO(2) (approximately 45 kJ/mol), a high CO(2) capacity (approximately 6 mmol/g, 273 K), and exceptional selectivity for CO(2) over N(2) at 273 K (81:1) and 298 K (75:1).
