Synthesis, structure and selective adsorption property of Zn metal-organic framework

Abstract

Zn metal-organic framework material [Zn2(tib)(HBTB)2(H2O)]·2H2O (1) [tib = 1,3,5-tris(1- imidazolyl)benzene, H3BTB = 4,4′,4″-benzene-1,3,5-triyl-tribenzoic acid] was synthesized and characterized by Thermogravimetric analyses (TGA), Powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) analyses and Bruker D8 Advance X-ray diffractometer. The results showed that 1 was a 2D network to be joined together by hydrogen bonds to generate a 3D supramolecular structure. Gas, vapor adsorption behavior of the material was studied. It is meaningful that 1 can selective sorption of CO2 and MeOH.
