Tuning of gate adsorption: modification of a flexible metal–organic framework by secondary organic ligands†
Abstract
For realizing selective adsorption of targeted molecules, a flexible metal–organic framework (MOF) was modified with monodentate secondary ligands. Although the modified MOF retains CO2 adsorptivities with a vertical adsorption uptake, the material also shows gate adsorptivities of a specific gas molecule that the pristine MOF does not adsorb.
