Methane Adsorption in a Supramolecular Organic Zeolite

Abstract

An eight-membered ring: The methane adsorption properties of a new microporous organic zeolite have been studied by volumetric adsorption analysis and high-resolution powder XRD. Methane molecules have been located inside the host channels and a ring of eight methane and eight calixarene molecules is formed through CH π bonds (see figure).
