A Mixed-Cluster Approach for Building a Highly Porous Cobalt(II) Isonicotinic Acid Framework: Gas Sorption Properties and Computational Analyses
A unique channel-type metal-organic framework (MOF) built up from mixed square-planar Co-4(mu(2)-OH)(4)(mu(4)-OH) and cuboidal Co-4(mu(3)-OH)(4) clusters with an isonicotinic acid ligand has been successfully fabricated that demonstrates the highest specific surface area and high H-2 uptake capacities among all of the cobalt(II) isonicotinic acid frameworks reported so far.
