This presentation will focus on synthesis and characterization of MOFs that may be suitable for capturing carbon dioxide from flue gas. Selection of synthesis targets is, in part, guided by theory and computations (R. Q. Snurr and co-workers). The synthesis approach makes use of a high-stability platform material termed NU-1000 and involves channel functionalization via  solvent assisted ligand incorporation, SALI (O. K. Farha and co-workers). Case studies involving systematic functionalization of channels with perfluoroalkanes or other moieties will be described.
