Third-Generation Breathing Metal–Organic Framework with Selective, Stepwise, Reversible, and Hysteretic Adsorption Properties

Abstract

A new 2D interdigitated and highly flexible, breathing metal–organic framework has been synthesized through a diffusion technique by using the aldrithiol linker and pyromellitate ligand. The compound shows selective, stepwise, reversible, and hysteretic adsorption properties for CO₂ gas and H₂O, MeOH, and CH₃CN vapors
