Abstract

H(2) adsorption in (Me(2)NH(2))[In(L)] is enhanced by exchange of Me(2)NH(2)(+) for Li(+) cations; the Li(+)-exchanged material displays a lower isosteric heat for H(2) adsorption than the parent material, indicating that the increase in H(2) capacity is due to an increase in the accessible pore volume on cation exchange, while the lower adsorption enthalpy is consistent with increased pore size.
