Unsymmetrical trifluoro functional groups were installed onto metal−organic frameworks (MOFs) at positions regulated by ligand exchange for efficient CO 2 separation under humid conditions. These trifluoro groups induced molecular separation via dipole−dipole interactions. Their installation onto amino-functionalized MOF surfaces produced hydrophobic and CO 2 -philic core−shell MOFs for efficient CO 2 adsorption.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
