“…Comparisons of the adsorbed CO 2 data for 1 , 2 and 4 with other porous polyoxometalates at 298 K are listed in Table S6 †. In comparison with 1 , 2 , [Mo V 8 O 8 (μ 2 -O) 12 (Htrz) 8 ]·62H 2 O 20 and Na 3 [Mo V 6 O 6 (μ 2 -O) 9 (Htrz) 3 (trz) 3 ]·7.5H 2 O, 19 4 exhibits good selective adsorption for CO 2 . Even so, we can see that the adsorption ability of 4 is minuscule when compared with those of other porous polyoxometalates like COMOC-2, 57 SO 2 -COMOC-2, 57 MFM-300(V III ), 32 MFM-300(V IV ), 32 NH 2 -MIL-47, 58 and V-MIL-100, 59 which can be ascribed to the large pore sizes of the latter.…”
