Abstract

Gas adsorptivities of elastic layer-structured (ELS) metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) were analyzed using different metal ions. Single-crystal analyses of ELM-12 (Cu) and ELM-22 (Co) showed that each metal is coordinated by four bpy ligands in equatorial positions and two OTf anions in axial positions in an octahedral geometry to form quite similar two-dimensional square-grid sheets. ELM-12 (Cu) undergoes structural transformation under vacuum heating and its interlayer distances decrease when the hydrogen-bonding networks with and without guest molecules are changed. The weight of the metal species is one of the most important factors impacting the amount of adsorption on the rigid MOFs. The results reveal that by controlling the coordination field of a metal ion the gas adsorptivity of the flexible can be altered and ELMs can be potentially utilized for effective gas separation and storage.
