Metal-organic frameworks(MOFs) as a new class of porous materials have received great attention for gas storage. The readily tunability is one of the most characters of MOFs. Especially, methane adsorption is considered to be highly related to the pore size distribution and pore shapes. Based on a metal-organic polyhedral constructed MOF, we designed a series of new isorecticular MOFs by tailoring the pore size. One of these MOFs exhibit extremely high methane uptake and record high working capacity(5.8bar to 65 bar) at room temperature among all the porous material.
