Abstract

A unique Al(III) -based metal-organic framework (467-MOF) with two types of square channels has been designed and synthesized by using a flexible tricarboxylate ligand under solvothermal conditions. 467-MOF exhibits superior thermal and chemical stability and, moreover, shows high CO2 sorption selectivity over H2 , with a selectivity, based on the ideal adsorbed solution theory (IAST) of approximately 45 at 273 or 293 K. Furthermore, its solvent-dependent photoluminescence makes it an applicable sensor in the detection of nitrobenzene explosives through fluorescence quenching.

Keywords: adsorption; aluminum; carboxylate ligands; metal-organic frameworks; sensors.
