Modular structure of a robust microporous MOF based on Cu2 paddle-wheels with high CO2 selectivity.

The synthesis of a new MOF with Cu2 paddle-wheels connected to glutarate and 1,3-bis(4-pyridyl)propane linkers has been explored. Experimental gas adsorption measurements reveal that the MOF is essentially non-porous to methane whereas it presents a type III isotherm upon CO2 adsorption, leading to high capacity and outstanding CO2 selectivity.
