A highly porous metal–organic framework Cu2(BBCDC) (BBCDC = 9,9′-([1,1′-iphenyl]-4,4′-diyl)is(9H-arbazole-3,6-iarboxylate) (DUT-49) with a specific surface area of 5476 m2 g−1, pore volume 2.91 cm3 H2 excess uptake 80 mg g−1 (77 K, 50 bar), CO2 2.01 g (298 bar) and an exceptionally high methane storage capacity 308 110 was obtained using extended tetratopic linker.
