In Situ Single-crystal X-ray Diffraction Studies of Physisorption and Chemisorption of SO₂ within a Metal-Organic Framework and Its Competitive Adsorption with Water.

ABSTRACT: Living on an increasingly polluted planet, the removal of toxic pollutants such as sulfur dioxide (SO₂) from the troposphere and power station flue gas is becoming more and more important. The CPO-27/MOF-74 family of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with their high densities of open metal sites is well suited for the selective adsorption of gases that, like SO₂, bind well to metals and have been extensively researched both practically and through computer simulations. However, until now, focus has centered upon the binding of SO₂ to the open metal sites in this MOF (called chemisorption, where the adsorbent-adsorbate interaction is through a chemical bond). The possibility of physisorption (where the adsorbent-adsorbate interaction is only through weak inter
