Abstract

We realized that tailoring the pore size/geometry and chemistry, by virtue of alkynyl or naphthalene replacing phenyl within a series of isomorphic MOFs, can optimize methane storage working capacities, affording an exceptionally high working capacity of 203 cm³ (STP) cm⁻³ at 298 K and 5–80 bar.
