Mixed linker zinc-triazole-oxalate MOF compositions for co adsorption

Abstract

A MOF composition is formed from a reaction mixture comprising zinc ions, oxalate, and one or more substituted cycloazocarbyl compounds selected from either (a) at least two different cycloazocarbyl compounds, each of which is at least mono-substituted, or (b) at least one cycloazocarbyl compound that is di-substituted. The MOF composition can be used in a method of capturing carbon dioxide from a mixture of gases containing carbon dioxide. Also disclosed herein is a method of making the MOF composition.
