The storage, sequestration and selective binding of CO2 in a safe and compact form represents a significant current challenge, and there is wide-ranging interest in the development of stable materials that can store and release CO2 with fast kinetics and high reversibility over multiple cycles. Porous co-ordination framework compounds have enormous potential in this regard. We report the synthesis, structural characterisation and gas adsorption studies of a range of metal-organic materials including stable carboxylate-linked complexes that exhibit high porosity and surface area coupled with high storage capacities. Of particular interest is a family of decorated porous framework materials in which ligand and metal functionality can enhance gas storage, binding and selectivity, especially for CO2.
