Abstract

A porous metal-organic framework {[Cu2(BBTC)(H 2O)2] · 2DMSO · 4H2O}n (Cu-BBTC, BBTC=1, 1′-buta-diynebenzene -3,3′,5,5′- tetracarboxylate; DMSO=dimethyl sulfoxide) was solvothermally synthesized from a tetracarboxylate ligand with butynelene functionality and structurally characterized. Cu-BBTC features a three-dimensional fof network with two types of cages, a small cage is about 14 Å in diameter and a large shows an ellipsoidal pore with about 14.2 × 22.6 Å in axes. The activated sample of Cu-BBTC, with Langmuir surface area of 1569 m2 g -1, exhibits selective gas adsorption behavior with respect to C 2H2/CH4 and CO2/CH2 at room temperature.
