A highly porous acylamide decorated MOF-505 analogue with optimized pores, open copper sites and acylamide groups exhibits large and selective CO2 adsorption over CH4 and N2 under ambient conditions.

Incorporation of specific functionalities within the framework offers a significant opportunity to produce high-performance gas storage/separation and catalysis MOF materials. In this work, multifunctionalities, including hydrophobic methoxy groups, polar acylamide functionalities, and open copper(II) sites, have been successfully integrated into a twofold interpenetrated microporous MOF (HNUST-6, HNUST represents Hunan University of Science and Technology). HNUST-6 possesses per- [a]

A microporous acylamide functionalized rht-type MOF (HNUST-9) with Lewis acidic open copper sites and CO2-philic acylamide groups exhibits high performance for CO2 capture, separation and chemical conversion.
