To achieve optimal performance in gas storage and delivery applications, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) must combine high gravimetric and volumetric capacities. One potential route to balancing high pore volume with suitable crystal density is interpenetration, where identical nets sit within the void space of one another. Herein, we report an interpenetrated MIL-53 topology MOF, named GUF-1, where one-dimensional Sc(µ2-OH) chains are connected by 4,4’-(ethyne-1,2-diyl)dibenzoate linkers into a material that is an unusual example of an interpenetrated MOF with a rod-like secondary building unit. A combination of modulated self-assembly and grand canonical Monte Carlo simulations are used to optimise the porosity of GUF-1; H2 adsorption isotherms reveal a very high Qst for H2 of 7.6 kJ mol-1 and a working capacity of 41 g L-1 in a temperature-pressure swing system, which is comparable to benchmark MOFs. These results show that interpenetration is a viable route to high performance gas storage materials comprised of relatively simple building blocks.

We report that the previously reported square lattice coordination network [Ni(4,4‘-bipyridine)2(NCS)2]n, sql-1-Ni-NCS, undergoes acetylene (C2H2) induced switching between closed (non-porous) and open (porous) phases. The resulting stepped sorption isotherms exhibit...

A major expansion phase is underway at the Ruhrgas natural gas storage plant at Epe on the border between West Germany and the Netherlands. The plant already has 8 caverns with a total working capacity of approx. 350 × 106 m3 (n). 28 caverns are to be added, to bring the total to approx. 1.0 × 109 m3 (n). In view of the increase in capacity, it was necessary to raise the power installed for driving gas compressors from the existing figure of approx. 3,000 kW to a total of 12,000 kW in phase II. A minimum of 2 units were required for this figure of 9,000 kW. Epe is already the second largest natural gas storage facility in West Germany and is designed to store both low BTU and high BTU natural gas. The facilities are operated at a wide range of pressures and flow rates. The new compressor units will be used only for gas injection at well head pressures of up to 200 bar.

Coordination networks that undergo guest-induced switching between “closed” nonporous and “open” porous phases are of increasing interest as the resulting stepped sorption isotherms can offer exceptional working capacities for gas storage applications. For practical utility, the gate ad/desorption pressures (Pga/Pgd) must lie between the storage (Pst) and delivery (Pde) pressures and there must be fast switching kinetics. Herein we study the effect of metal cation substitution on the switching pressure of a family of square lattice coordination networks [M(4,4’-bipyridine)2(NCS)]n (sql-1-M-NCS, M = Fe, Co and Ni) with respect to CO2 sorption. The Clausius-Clapeyron equation was used to correlate Pga/Pgd and temperature. At 298 K, Pga/Pgd values were found to vary from 31.6/26.7 bar (M = Fe) to 26.7/20.9 bar (M = Co) and 18.5/14.6 bar (M = Ni). The switching event occurs within 10 minutes as verified by dynamic CO2 sorption tests. In addition, in situ synchrotron PXRD and molecular simulations provided structural insight into the observed switching event, which we attribute to layer expansion of sql-1-M-NCS via intercalation and inclusion of CO2 molecules. This study could pave the way for rational control over Pga/Pgd in switching adsorbent layered materials and enhance their potential utility in gas storage applications.
