摘要

A novel 3D microporous metal-organic framework with suitable pore space and open copper sites, [Cu2(L) (H2O)(2)]center dot(DMF)(5)center dot(H2O)center dot(MeCN) (ZJU-11, ZJU = Zhejiang University; H4L = 2'-methyl-[1,1':4',1 ''-terphenyl]-3,3 '',5,5 ''-tetracarboxylic acid; DMF = N,N-dimethylformamide; MeCN = acetonitrile), has been synthesized and structurally characterized. ZJU-11a exhibits high BET surface area of 2531 m(2) g (1) and pore volume of 1.0087 cm(3) g (1), and can separate CH4 from C-2-hydrocarbon gas mixtures at room temperature.
