Unexpected Selective Gas Adsorption on A ‘Non-Porous’ Metal Organic Framework
A metal organic framework Cu(tpt)BF<sub>4</sub>·¾H<sub>2</sub>O was synthesized as a potential carbon capture material, with the aim being to exploit the Lewis base interaction of the incorporated ligand functionalities with acidic gas. The material displays high thermal stab...
