| Abstract Scope |
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) show structural versatility and multifunctional properties that have sparked much interest in advanced materials synthesis and due to their modular nature, many of these materials can be constructed by design. We have focused on understanding the properties of gas interactions within various microporous materials to identify and understand new optimal storage and separation materials. We have recently characterized the temperature-controlled separations of gases. Our most recent work details the mechanism for high-temperature capture of CO<sub>2</cub> from a wet gas stream in a metal-H containing MOF. We use in-situ synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction to illustrate the quantitative formate formation upon adsorption and identify the hydride by applying neutron powder diffraction. We will discuss these recent results in context and illustrate the potential for industrial uses of MOFs. |
