High H2 and CH4 Adsorption Capacity of a Highly Porous (2,3,4)-Connected Metal–Organic Framework

A porous metal–organic framework [Cu6(BDPP)3(H2O)6] (BDPP = 3,5-bis(3,5-dicarboxylphenyl)-pyridine) (NJU-Bai10) was synthesized. NJU-Bai10 exhibits a high BET surface area of 2883 m2 g–1, the highest excess H2 volumetric adsorption of 48.0 g L–1 (60 bar, 77 K), and a high methane uptake of 198.6 cm3 cm–3 that surpasses the DOE target.
