The interaction between an adsorbed CO molecule and the unsaturated coordinated Co2+center in the metal–organic framework (MOF) PCN-224 is investigated by analyzing the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) parameters (gfactors and hyperfine structure constants) and the adsorption energies at various temperatures. Six- and five-coordinated octahedral models (four planar N with two and one axial CO molecules, respectively) are constructed to simulate the local structures of the Co2+centers at different temperatures. Because of the Jahn–Teller effect of the Co2+centers, the C2–Co–N4and C–Co–N4combinations undergo different tetragonal elongation distortions along theC4axis, characterized by the relative elongation ΔZand displacement ΔZ′ of Co2+at different temperatures. Given the agreement between the calculated and experimental EPR parameters, as well as the adsorption properties, the six- and five-coordinated models are regarded as suitable for low- and high-temperature systems, respectively. These studies may be helpful to understand the properties of similar MOFs with adsorbed molecules under the effect of ambient temperature.
