Open metal sites dangled on cobalt trigonal prismatic clusters within porous MOF for CO2 capture†
Abstract
Open metal sites are devised to dangle on cobalt trigonal prismatic secondary building units (SBUs) of a porous MOF, when a rigid octacarboxylate ligand, 1,3,6,8-tetra(3,5-dicarboxylphenyl)pyrene, assembled with Co(NO3)2 under solvothermal conditions. The functional role of dangled open metal sites is exploited for CO2 capture studies.
