The metal-organic framework, MFU-4, possessing small cavities and apertures, is exploited for quantum sieving of hydrogen isotopes. Quantum mechanically, a molecule confined in cavity shows an increase effective size depending on the particle mass, which leads to faster deuterium adsorption from H2/D2 isotope mixture.

Postsynthetic metal and ligand exchange is a versatile approach towards functionalized MFU-4l frameworks. Upon thermal treatment of formates, coordinatively strongly unsaturated centers, such as zinc(II) hydride or copper(I) species, are generated selectively.

Abstract Metal–organic frameworks with extremely large specific surface areas can reach very high gravimetric hydrogen storage capacities. However, these ultra‐porous materials possess typically a low density and, therefore, poor volumetric capacity.
