The development of alternative adsorptive separation technologies is extremely significant for the separation of CH/CO and CO/CH in the chemical industry. Emerging metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have shown great potential as adsorbents for gas adsorption and separation. Herein, we synthesized two layered Zn-MOFs, UPC-96 and UPC-97, with 1,2,4,5-tetrakis(4-carboxyphenyl)-3,6-dimethylbenzene (TCPB-Me) as a ligand via the solvent regulation of the pH values. UPC-96 with a completely deprotonated ligand was obtained without the addition of acid, exhibiting two different channels with cross-sectional sizes of 11.6 × 7.1 and 8.3 × 5.2 Å. In contrast, the addition of acid led to the partial deprotonation of the ligand and afforded UPC-97 two types of channels with cross-sectional sizes of 11.5 × 5.7 and 7.4 × 3.9 Å. Reversible N adsorption isotherms at 77 K confirmed their permanent porosity, and the differentiated single-component CH, CO, and CH adsorption isotherms indicated their potential in CH/CO and CO/CH separation.
替代吸附分离技术的发展对于化工行业中CH/CO和CO/CH的分离极为重要。新兴的金属有机框架材料(MOFs)作为气体吸附和分离的吸附剂已展现出巨大潜力。在此,我们通过调节pH值的溶剂法,以1,2,4,5-四(4-羧基苯基)-3,6-二甲基苯(TCPB-Me)为配体合成了两种层状锌基MOF材料,UPC-96和UPC-97。在不添加酸的情况下获得了配体完全去质子化的UPC-96,其具有两种不同的通道,横截面尺寸分别为11.6×7.1 Å和8.3×5.2 Å。相比之下,添加酸导致配体部分去质子化,使UPC-97具有两种类型的通道,横截面尺寸分别为11.5×5.7 Å和7.4×3.9 Å。77 K下的可逆N吸附等温线证实了它们的永久孔隙率,而不同的单组分CH、CO和CH吸附等温线表明它们在CH/CO和CO/CH分离方面具有潜力。
