The separation of carbon dioxide from hydrogen gas is a promising industrial application of MOFs. A variety of metal- rganic frameworks (MOF-177, Co(BDP), Cu-BTTri, and Mg2(dobdc) ) were screened to assess their relative abilities for adsorption of these gases at partial pressures up to 40 bar and at 313 K (Z. R. Herm, J. A. Swisher, B. Smit, R. Krishna, J. R. Long, J. Am. Chem. Soc. , 2011 , 133 , 5664). Which gas, CO2 or H2 , is adsorbed more effectively by ll our MOFs? Which two metalorganic framework properties most strongly correlate with CO2 adsorption capacity? Tabulate the data quantifying these properties for these four MOFs. Which MOF adsorbed the most CO2 at 5 bar? To hat structural feature was this high adsorption at low pressures attributed? Which of these MOFs were identified as the best prospects for CO2>H2 separation?
