Stepwise engineering of pore environments and enhancement of CO2/R22 adsorption capacity through dynamic spacer installation and functionality modification†
Abstract
Through stepwise post-synthetic spacer insertion and click reactions, six Zr-MOFs with different types and amounts of functional groups have been constructed based on proto-MOF PCN-700. Their gas adsorption capacities and selectivities have been greatly improved and finely tuned, demonstrating the combinatorial effect of pore surface modification and pore space partition.
