Non-interpenetrated IRMOF-8: synthesis, activation, and gas sorption

摘要

The synthesis and successful activation of IRMOF-8 (Zn_4O(ndc)_3, ndc = naphthalene-2,6-dicarboxylate) is presented. Room temperature synthesis effectively suppresses interpenetration. Although conventional activation under reduced pressure leads to structural collapse, activation by flowing supercritical CO_2 yields a guest-free material with a BET surface area of 4461 m~2 g~(-1).
