A Coordinatively Linked Yb Metal–Organic Framework Demonstrates High Thermal Stability and Uncommon Gas‐Adsorption Selectivity

Narrow pores for high selectivity: The ytterbium metal–organic framework PCN-17, which contains coordinatively (through SO42− ions) linked, doubly interpenetrated (8,3)-nets (see picture), is stable up to 480 °C and exhibits selective adsorption of H2 and O2 over N2 and CO.
