Porous Ionic Liquids or Liquid Metal–Organic Frameworks?

Abstract

Porous liquids can be prepared from the dispersion metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) in ionic liquids (ILs). Porous liquids prepared from 5 % of ZIF-8 in a phosphonium-based ionic liquid are capable of absorbing reversibly up to 150 % more nitrogen and 100 % more methane than the pure ionic liquid.
