Abstract
This invention provides, but is not limited to, methods of using metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with open metal sites for acetylene storage. Also provided are compositions and materials comprising MOFs with open metal sites and acetylene, e.g., an acetylene storage material comprising HKUST-1 and acetylene.
Claims20
A method of storing acetylene comprising:
- (a) obtaining a metal-organic framework (MOF), comprising
- a plurality of metal ions;
- a plurality of open metal sites;
- a plurality of multidentate organic linkers bound to one or more of the metal ions;
- and
- a plurality of pores;
- and
- (b) combining the MOF with acetylene.
