Abstract

Abstract Introduction of pore partition agents into hexagonal channels of MIL‐88 type (acs topology) endows materials with high tunability in gas sorption. Here, we report a strategy to partition acs framework into pacs (partitioned acs) crystalline porous materials (CPM). This strategy is based on insertion of in situ synthesized 4,4′‐dipyridylsulfide (dps) ligands. One third of open metal sites in the acs net are retained in pacs MOFs; two thirds are used for pore‐space partition. The Co 2 V‐pacs MOFs exhibit near or at record high uptake capacities for C 2 H 2 , C 2 H 4 , C 2 H 6 , and CO 2 among MOFs. The storage capacity of C 2 H 2 is 234 cm 3 g −1 (298 K) and 330 cm 3 g −1 (273 K) at 1 atm for CPM‐733‐dps (the Co 2 V‐BDC form, BDC=1,4‐benzenedicarboxylate). These high uptake capacities are accomplished with low heat of adsorption, a feature desirable for low‐energy‐cost adsorbent regeneration. CPM‐733‐dps is stable and shows no loss of C 2 H 2 adsorption capacity following multiple adsorption–desorption cycles.
