摘要

Herein, we report a unique self-catenated metal-organic framework (MOF) with an underlying (3,12)-connected topology based on Co-4 clusters. Moreover, the special dumbbell-like pore configuration, the exact match between the pore aperture and the kinetic diameter of CO2, as well as the coexistence of acylamide and NH2 groups in the MOF enhances the selectivity of adsorption of CO2 over other gases such as CO, CH4, O-2, and N-2.
