“…15 The metal-organic framework CPO-27 (MOF-74) was first synthesized in 2005 20 and is still one of the most interesting MOFs due to several unique characteristics: highest concentration of open metal sites reported to date for MOFs, 21 very high surface area, and uniform 1D channels. Another attractive property of CPO-27 is the existence of a series of isostructural MOFs obtained by replacement of the metal atom, thus providing the unique possibility to investigate the influence of different metal ions (M = Zn, Co, Ni, Mg, Mn, Fe, Cu, Zn/Co, Mg/Ni, Cd) for adsorption properties, [20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30] as well as the possibility to expand the pore apertures of CPO-27 to an isoreticular series with pore apertures ranging from 14 Å to 98 Å, 31 and diverse possibilities for postsynthetic functionalization. 5,[32][33] CPO-27 is composed of M II ions generating linear, infinite-rod secondary building units (SBUs) bound by 2,5-dioxido-1,4-benzenedicarboxylate (DOBDC) ligands, resulting in a hexagonal, 1D pore structure (Fig.…”
