Tuning the functional sites in metal–organic frameworks provides one strategy to vary the CO2 adsorption properties – this highlight article provides insight into modulation of another key performance criterion, namely the isosteric heat of adsorption, and its influence on CO2 capture.

A family of Cu(II)-based metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) has been synthesized using three pyridyl-isophthalate ligands, H 2 L 1 (4′-(pyridin-4-yl)biphenyl-3,5-dicarboxylic acid), H 2 L 2 (4′′-(pyridin-4-yl)-1,1′:4′,1′′-terphenyl-3,5-dicarboxylic acid) and H 2 L 3 (5-[4-(pyridin-4-yl)naphthalen-1-yl]benzene-1,3-dicarboxylic acid). Although in each case the pyridyl-isophthalate ligands adopt the same pseudo-octahedral [Cu 2 (O 2 CR) 4 N 2 ] paddlewheel coordination modes, the resulting frameworks are structurally diverse, particularly in the case of the complex of Cu(II) with H 2 L 3 , which leads to three distinct supramolecular isomers, each derived from Kagomé and square nets. In contrast to [Cu(L 2 )] and the isomers of [Cu(L 3 )], [Cu(L 1 )] exhibits permanent porosity. Thus, the gas adsorption properties of [Cu(L 1 )] were investigated with N 2 , CO 2 and H 2 , and the material exhibits an isosteric heat of adsorption competitive with leading MOF sorbents for CO 2 . [Cu(L 1 )] displays high H 2 adsorption, with the density in the pores approaching that of liquid H 2 . This article is part of the themed issue ‘Coordination polymers and metal–organic frameworks: materials by design’.

Reaction of cerium ammonium nitrate and tetrafluoroterephthalic acid in water afforded two new metal-organic frameworks with UiO-66 [F4_UiO-66(Ce)] and MIL-140 [F4_MIL-140A(Ce)] topologies. The two compounds can be obtained in the same experimental conditions, just by varying the amount of acetic acid used as crystallization modulator in the synthesis. Both F4_UiO-66(Ce) and F4_MIL-140A(Ce) feature pores with size < 8 Å, which classifies them as ultramicroporous. Combination of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and magnetic susceptibility measurements revealed that both compounds contain a small amount of Ce(III), which is preferentially accumulated near the surface of the crystallites. The CO<sub>2</sub> sorption properties of F4_UiO-66(Ce) and F4_MIL-140A(Ce) were investigated, finding that they perform better than their Zr-based analogues. F4_MIL-140A(Ce) displays an unusual S-shaped isotherm with steep uptake increase at pressure < 0.2 bar at 298 K. This makes F4_MIL-140A(Ce) exceptionally selective for CO<sub>2</sub> over N<sub>2</sub>: the calculated selectivity, according to the ideal adsorbed solution theory for a 0.15:0.85 mixture at 1 bar and 293 K, is higher than 1900, amongst the highest ever reported for metal-organic frameworks. The calculated isosteric heat of CO<sub>2 </sub>adsorption is in the range of 38-40 kJ mol<sup>-1</sup>, indicating a strong physisorptive character.
