Preferential CO2 adsorption by an ultra-microporous zinc-aminotriazolato-acetate MOF

Abstract

Ultramicroporous MOFs enable tight packing of the active functional groups, directly impacting the selective guest–framework interactions. MOFs with pores simultaneously lined by methyl and amine may serve as the ultimate humid CO2 sorbent. However, structural complexity prevents taking full advantage even in a simple zinc-triazolato-acetate layered-pillared MOF.
