Abstract

A flexible-robust copper(II) metal-organic framework, denoted as LIFM-100, has been successfully synthesized using a fluorinated linear dicarboxylate to link copper ions. LIFM-100 exhibits a breathing effect, which can transform reversibly between a large form (lp) and a narrow form (np) from single crystal to single crystal. In addition, LIFM-100 shows good thermal and chemical stability. By the introduction of trifluoromethyl functional groups and uncoordinated carboxyl acids, LIFM-100 features a good CO2/R22 adsorption/separation performance at 298 K, showing potential in natural gas purification and CO2/R22 capture.
