Development of Heterometallic Annular Tetranuclear Clusters in Metal-Organic Frameworks for Methane Purification and Storage.

ABSTRACT: Annular tetranuclear cluster based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have displayed unique advantages in gas adsorption and separation due to their highly connected robust architectures. Herein, two novel heterometallic tetranuclear motifs, [Y₂Cd₂(μ₃-O)₂(COO)₈(H₂O)₂] and [Y₂In₂(μ₃-O)₂(μ₂-O)₂(COO)₈(H₂O)₂], were successfully explored, which were further extended by 1,3,5-tris(4-carboxyphenyl)benzene (H₃BTB) tritopic linker to give isostructural MOFs (SNNU-326 and -327). SNNU-326 and -327 both exhibit the abilities to remove impurities (C₂-hydrocarbons and CO₂) in natural gas (NG) and exce
