Microwave Synthesis of the CPM‐5 Metal Organic Framework

Abstract

Abstract The metal organic framework CPM‐5 (crystalline porous materials) was successfully synthesized and characterized for the first time using microwave irradiation as a rapid and facile synthesis method in about 10 min compared to several days crystallization time required for the conventional solvothermal approaches. Furthermore, CPM‐5 produced by microwave‐assisted synthesis exhibited a very high surface area of 2187 m 2 g –1 compared to, e.g., 580 m 2 g –1 of the conventionally synthesized samples. Moreover, the as‐synthesized CPM‐5 showed high carbon dioxide uptake.
