Adsorption in Pyrene-Based Metal-Organic Frameworks: The Role of Pore Structure and Topology

Berend Smit, Wendy Lee Queen, Jordi Espin Marti, Miriam Jasmin Pougin, Christopher Patrick Ireland, Andres Adolfo Ortega Guerrero, Fatma Pelin Uran

Pore topology and chemistry play crucial roles in the adsorption characteristics of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). To deepen our understanding of the interactions between MOFs and CO2 during this process, we systematically investigate the adsorption prop ...

N-Containing Carbons Derived from Microporous Coordination Polymers for Use in Post-Combustion Flue Gas Capture

Wendy Lee Queen, Emad Oveisi, Jordi Espin Marti, Vikram Vinayak Karve

Herein, novel carbons that, owing to a high density of micropores (up to 79%) and N-content (up to 14.9%), offering exciting potential for post-combustion CO2 capture are reported. Given that little is known about how starting materials impact the structur ...
