A new metal-organic framework for separation of C2H2/CH4 and CO2/CH4 at room temperature

Publication date: April 2018 Source:Journal of Solid State Chemistry, Volume 260 Author(s): Xing Duan, You Zhou, Ran Lv, Ben Yu, Haodong Chen, Zhenguo Ji, Yuanjing Cui, Yu Yang, Guodong Qian A 3D microporous metal-organic framework with open Cu2+ sites and suitable pore space, [Cu2(L)(H2O)2]·(H2O)4(DMF)8 (ZJU-15, H4L = 5,5′-(9H-carbazole-2,7-diyl)diisophthalic acid; DMF = N,N-dimethylformamide; ZJU = Zhejiang University), has been constructed and characterized. The activated ZJU-15a has three different types of cages and exhibits BET surface area of 1660m2 g−1, and can separate gas mixture of C2H2/CH4 and CO2/CH4 at room temperature. Graphical abstract
