In this work, a flexible metal-org. framework (MOF) (nickname BPene), [Ni'(L)Ni(CN)4]n (L=1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)-ethylene) that shows reversible structural transitions between low porosity and high porosity phases during the adsorption and desorption of CO2 has been synthesized and analyzed. Pore size distribution detn. has also been conducted. Time resolved, in-situ studies including single-crystal and powder X-ray and neutron diffraction, SANS, and Ultra-small-Angle X-ray Scattering (USAXS) techniques will be developed to study the sorption processes of CO2 and other relevant gases using the flexible MOFs.
