Adsorption-based processes using metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a promising option for carbon dioxide (CO2) capture from flue gases and biogas upgrading to biomethane. Here, the adsorption of CO2, methane (CH4), and nitrogen (N2) on Zn(dcpa) MOF (dcpa (2,6-dichlorophenylacetate)) is reported. The characterization of the MOF by powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and N2 physisorption at 77 K shows that it is stable up to 650 K, and confirms previous observations suggesting framework flexibility upon exposure to guest molecules. The adsorption equilibrium isotherms of the pure components (CO2, CH4, and N2), measured at 273–323 K, and up to 35 bar, are Langmuirian, except for that of CO2 at 273 K, which exhibits a stepwise shape with hysteresis. The latter is accurately interpreted in terms of the osmotic thermodynamic theory, with further refinement by assuming that the free energy difference between the two metastable structures of Zn(dcpa) is a normally distributed variable due to the existence of different crystal sizes and defects in a real sample. The ideal selectivities of the equimolar mixtures of CO2/N2 and CO2/CH4 at 1 bar and 303 K are 12.8 and 2.9, respectively, which are large enough for Zn(dcpa) to be usable in pressure swing adsorption.

The compound [Cd(4,4'-bpy)2(H2O)2](ClO4)2·(L)2 was obtained by the reaction of Cd(ClO4)2, bis(1-pyrazinylethylidene)hydrazine (L) and 4,4'-bipyridine in aqueous MeOH. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction has revealed its two-dimensional metal-organic framework. The 2-D layers superpose on each other, giving a channel structure. The square planar grids consist of two pairs of shared edges with Cd(II) ion and a 4,4'-bipyridine molecule each vertex and side, respectively. The square cavity has a dimension of 11.817 × 11.781 Å. Two guest molecules of bis(1-pyrazinylethylidene)hydrazine are clathrated in every hydrophobic host cavity, being further stabilized by π-π stacking and hydrogen bonding. The results suggest that the hydrazine molecules present in the network serve as structure-directing templates in the formation of crystal structures.

Understanding the processes by which porous solid-state materials adsorb and release guest molecules would represent a significant step towards developing rational design principles for functional porous materials. To elucidate the process of liquid exchange in these materials, dynamicin situX-ray diffraction techniques have been developed which utilize liquid-phase chemical stimuli. Using these time-resolved diffraction techniques, the ethanol solvation process in a flexible metal–organic framework [Co(AIP)(bpy)0.5(H2O)]·2H2O was examined. The measurements provide important insight into the nature of the chemical transformation in this system including the presence of a previously unreported neat ethanol solvate structure.

<p>Efficient and sustainable methods for carbon dioxide (CO<sub>2</sub>) capture are essential. Its atmospheric concentration must be reduced to meet climate change targets, and its removal from sources such as chemical feedstocks is vital. While mature technologies involving chemical reactions that absorb CO<sub>2</sub> exist, they have many drawbacks. Porous materials with void spaces that are complementary in size and electrostatic potential to CO<sub>2</sub> offer an alternative. In these materials, the molecular CO<sub>2 </sub>guests are trapped by noncovalent interactions, hence they can be recycled by releasing the CO<sub>2</sub> with a low energy penalty. Capacity and selectivity are the twin challenges for such porous adsorbents. Here, we show how a metal-organic framework, termed MUF-16 (MUF = Massey University Framework), is a universal adsorbent for CO<sub>2</sub> that sequesters large quantities of CO<sub>2</sub> from a broad palette of gas streams with record selectivities over competing gases. The crystallographically-determined position of the CO<sub>2</sub> molecules captured in the framework pores illustrate how complementary noncovalent interactions envelop CO<sub>2</sub> while repelling other guest molecules. The low affinity of the pore environment for other gases underpins the strikingly high selectivity of MUF-16 for CO<sub>2</sub> over methane, nitrogen, hydrogen, acetylene, ethylene, ethane, propylene and propane. Breakthrough gas separations under dynamic conditions benefit from short time lags in the elution of the weakly-adsorbed component to deliver a repertoire of high-purity products. MUF-16 is an inexpensive, robust, recyclable adsorbent that is universally applicable to the removal of CO<sub>2 </sub>from sources such as natural gas, syngas, flue gas and chemical feedstocks.</p><br>

<p>Efficient and sustainable methods for carbon dioxide (CO<sub>2</sub>) capture are highly sought after. Mature technologies involve chemical reactions that absorb CO<sub>2, </sub>but they have many drawbacks. Energy-efficient alternatives may be realized by porous physisorbents with void spaces that are complementary in size and electrostatic potential to molecular CO<sub>2</sub>. Here, we present a robust, recyclable and inexpensive adsorbent termed MUF-16 (MUF = Massey University Framework). This metal-organic framework captures CO<sub>2</sub> with a high affinity in its one-dimensional channels. The position of the CO<sub>2</sub> molecules sequestered in the framework pores, as determined by X-ray crystallography, illustrate how complementary noncovalent interactions envelop the CO<sub>2</sub> while repelling other guest molecules. The low affinity of the MUF-16 pores for these competing gases underpins new benchmarks for the adsorption of CO<sub>2</sub> over methane, acetylene, ethylene, ethane, propylene and propane. IAST calculations show that for 50/50 mixtures at 293 K and 1 bar, the CO<sub>2</sub>/CH<sub>4</sub> selectivity is 6690 and the CO<sub>2</sub>/C<sub>2</sub>H<sub>2</sub> selectivity is 510, for example. Breakthrough gas separations under dynamic conditions benefit from short time lags in the elution of the weakly-adsorbed component to deliver high-purity hydrocarbon products. Ultimately, MUF-16 may be applicable to the removal of CO<sub>2 </sub>from sources such as natural gas and chemical feedstocks.<br></p>
