Highly stable porous polymer networks (PPNs) are synthesized through Yamamoto homocoupling reaction between tetrahedral monomers. Among those polymers, PPN-4 shows exceptionally high Langmuir surface area of 10063 m2 g−1 (SABET: 6461 g−1). It also exhibits ultra-high hydrogen (158 mg g−1), methane (389 and carbon dioxide (2121 g−1) storage capacities. These properties make it a perfect adsorbent for clean energy applications.

A porous polymer network (PPN) grafted with sulfonic acid (PPN-6-SO3H) and its lithium salt (PPN-6-SO3Li) exhibit significant increases in isosteric heats of CO2 adsorption CO2-uptake capacities. IAST calculations using single-component-isotherm data a 15/85 CO2/N2 ratio at 295 K 1 bar revealed that the sulfonate-grafted PPN-6 networks show exceptionally high selectivity for over N2 (155 414 PPN-6-SO3H PPN-6-SO3Li, respectively). Since these PPNs also possess ultrahigh physicochemical...
Porous coordination nanocages covered with alkyne groups are synthesized through judicious selection of the ligand and reaction conditions.

A unique strategy, sequential linker installation (SLI), has been developed to construct multivariate MOFs with functional groups precisely positioned. PCN-700, a Zr-MOF eight-connected Zr6O4(OH)8(H2O)4 clusters, judiciously designed; the Zr6 clusters in this MOF are arranged such fashion that, by replacement of terminal OH(-)/H2O ligands, subsequent insertion linear dicarboxylate linkers is achieved. We demonstrate that distinct lengths and functionalities can be sequentially installed into...

A Zr-MOF inherent missing sites, namely, PCN-700, initially constructed under kinetic...
Acetylene, an important petrochemical raw material, is very difficult to store safely under compression because of its highly explosive nature.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with open metal sites (OMSs) have been shown to preferentially adsorb unsaturated hydrocarbons such as C2H4 due the formation of π-complexation. However, adsorption capacity and selectivity might well be dampened under humid conditions because OMSs could easily poisoned in presence water vapor. C2H6-selective adsorbents less hydrophilic environments, on other hand, not only effectively minimize impact humidity separation but also directly produce high-purity...
