Gas Adsorption in R₂‐MOF‐5 Difunctionalized with Alkyl Groups

Zinc terephthalate metal−organic framework (MOF) MOF‐5 and some of its dialkylated derivatives ( R 2 ‐MOF‐5 ; R=Me, Et, Pr, Bu) were obtained from a solvothermal synthesis using 2,5‐dialkyl‐1,4‐benzenedicarboxylic acids with zinc nitrite. The effect of the solvent on the solvothermal synthesis of R 2 ‐MOF‐5 was investigated. For R=H and Me, interpenetrating or non‐interpenetrating MOFs obtained depending on the choice of reaction solvent, while...
