A Gyroidal MOF with Unprecedented Interpenetrating utc-c Network Exhibiting Exceptional Thermal Stability and Ultrahigh CO2 Affinity
A zeolite-like gyroidal MOF (denoted as SCNU-1) constructed with Cu ions and 4-(1H-imidazo-[4,5-f][1,10]phenanthrolin-2-yl)phenol has a featured interpenetrating uninodal utc-c network which is for the first time found in the real structure. Moreover, SCNU-1 exhibits high thermal (>773 K), solvent, and acid/base stabilities; the largest CO2 affinity, 90 kJ/mol, among the MOFs functionalized with an aromatic hydroxyl group; and excellent CO2/N-2 selectivity.
