Abstract:
Presented here is a chiral microporous metal-organic framework material with a three-fold interpenetrating diamond-type structural topology and interesting properties for selective separation. The material has a high storage capacity for CO(2) gas (4.23 mmol g(-1) at 273 K and 1 bar) and shows fantastic temperature-dependent selectivity for CO(2) over N(2). Moreover, this multifunctional material, which has a rich π system, can selectively adsorb benzene over cyclohexane at low pressure (0.05 bar) at 298 K.
