Cover Feature: Tuning Expanded Pores in Metal–Organic Frameworks for Selective Capture and Catalytic Conversion of Carbon Dioxide (ChemSusChem 21/2018)

Abstract

The Cover Feature shows three Co‐based isostructural Metal–Organic Frameworks (MOFs) with expanded pores for the selective capture and catalytic conversion of carbon Dioxide. In their Full Paper, W. Meng et al. finely tune the pore sizes of the MOF‐74‐III(Co) materials by varying the amounts of fused benzene rings incorporated into the side chain of same‐length ligands. This series of materials demonstrates high selectivity in CO2/N2 and CO2/CH4 separation, and high activity in CO2 cycloaddition catalysis. More information can be found in the Full Paper by W. Meng et al. on page 3751 in Issue 21, 2018 (DOI: 10.1002/cssc.201801585).

Review of CO2 Adsorption Materials and Utilization Technology

“…The amine-lined pores provide high values for the surface area and adsorption heat of MOFs [39]. Wei Meng et al [40] synthesized three Co-based MOF-74-III materials with extended pores. The material exhibits varying degrees of condensed benzene rings on the same length of ligand side chains.…”
