Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are organic-inorganic hybrid crystalline materials constructed by connecting metal nodes (e.g., metal ions or metal clusters) through organic linkers. This class of material possesses ultra-large surface area per volume and well-defined pores throughout its structure. Moreover, a nearly limitless combination of metal nodes and organic linkers allows for rational MOF design to target specific applications. Although MOFs have been demonstrated as a suitable candidate for many applications, such as gas storage, gas separation, sensing, energy storage, and heterogeneous catalysis, intensive investigations of MOFs are needed to improve their application to meet the growing demands from the industrial sector. Recently, reversible adsorption of gases has been demonstrated by various MOF systems. This reversible adsorption property can enable MOFs to facilitate storage and release of small molecules. In this presentation, a detailed investigation into a series of MOFs for such applications, through employment of spectroscopic and crystallographic techniques as well as computational methods, will be discussed.
