Microporous Cobalt(II)-Organic Framework with Open O-Donor Sites for Effective C2H2 Storage and C2H2/CO2 Separation at Room Temperature

The self-assembly of a bifunctional organic ligand with a formate-bridged rod-shaped secondary building unit leads to a new microporous metal-organic framework (MOF). This MOF shows a moderately high C2H2 storage capacity (145 cm(3)/g) and an excellent adsorption selectivity for C2H2/CO2 (11) at room temperature. Furthermore, its discriminatory sorption behavior toward C2H2 and CO2 was probed by computational analysis in detail.
