Abstract

The self-assembly of a custom-designed bifunctional ligand featuring both 1,2,3-triazolate and carboxylate donor groups with a pentanuclear zinc cluster generated in situ affords a double-walled metal triazolate framework (MTAF) material, MTAF-1 (Zn(5)(μ(3)-O)(2)(C(9)N(3)H(5)O(2))(5)(H(+))(4)(H(2)O)(17)(C(3)H(7)NO)(10)), which exhibits a surface area of 2300 m(2)/g and demonstrates interesting selective CO(2) uptake performances.
