A new
Ca-MOF with the chemical formula of [Ca(NO2-BDC)·DMF]
n
(MUT-1; NO2-BDC2– = 2-nitroterephthalate) with 5,5T4 topology and the Schäfli
symbol of (48.62)(45.65) was synthesized and structurally characterized with FT-IR, PXRD,
BET, TG-DTA, and single-crystal X-ray techniques. MUT-1 has 1D channels
along the crystallographic c axis. Its 1D channels
have microporosity before the activation process, and its nanoporous
structure can be achieved with the activation process. 1D channels
of MUT-1 are surrounded by −NO2 groups, which indicate
that this MOF could be a good candidate for CO2 storage.
It shows 0.97 mmol g–1 of CO2 adsorption
at 298 K up to 1 bar pressure. The structural stability of MUT-1 in
various solvents was investigated, and a new phase after subsequent
exposure to water and DMF was characterized.
