Gas storage and separation in a water-stable [CuI5BTT3]4− anion framework comprising a giant multi-prismatic nanoscale cage. Issue 26 (25th February 2015) - Dong, B. X.
Abstract : A water-stable Cu(i )-based metal–organic framework, featuring a giant multi-prismatic nanoscale cage and high CO2 /N2 and CO2 /H2 sorption selectivities, was constructed using the nitrogen-rich ligand of 1, 3, 5-tris(2 H -tetrazol-5-yl)benzene (H3 BTT). Abstract : A novel water-stable open poly-nuclear Cu(I)-based metal–organic framework, [NC2 H8 ]4 Cu5 (BTT)3 · x G (G = guest of DMA and H2 O) (1 ), featuring a giant multi-prismatic nanoscale cage and high CO2 /N2 and CO2 /H2 sorption selectivities, was successfully assembled by using the nitrogen-rich ligand of 1, 3, 5-tris(2 H -tetrazol-5-yl)benzene (H3 BTT) to bridge two types of Cu3 and Cu2 clusters.
