Abstract

Abstract : A new zeolitic-like microporous coordination polymer (PCP), [Zn2 (L)·2H2 O]· x guest, was firstly converted to morphology-preserved carbon rods with exclusive micropores and a large surface area for selective gas capture. Abstract : A new zeolitic-like microporous coordination polymer (PCP), [Zn2 (L)·2H2 O]·guest (namedNTU-17 ), with crb (BCT) topology was designed and prepared. Interestingly and unusually, it is the first time that such rod-shapedNTU-17 crystals could be converted to morphology-preserved carbon rods with exclusive micropores and a large surface area by using a facile method of direct thermal transformation. Gas adsorption and selectivity showed that these PCP dependent carbon rods are suitable solid adsorbents for CH4 purification.
