Unprecedented Sulfone‐Functionalized Metal–Organic Frameworks and Gas‐Sorption Properties

Abstract

Gas storage: A new, sulfone-functionalized dicarboxylate-based ligand (see figure) is capable of directing the formation of novel metal-organic frameworks with unprecedented organic and inorganic secondary building units. A high CO(2) uptake with remarkable selectivity over CH(4), N(2), and H(2) was observed at near-ambient temperature.
