Confined toluene within InOF-1: CO capture enhancement.

The toluene adsorption properties of InOF-1 are studied along with the confinement of small amounts of this non-polar molecule revealing a 1.38-fold increase in CO capture, from 5.26 wt% under anhydrous conditions to 7.

CO capture enhancement for InOF-1: confinement of 2-propanol.

The 2-propanol (i-PrOH) adsorption properties of InOF-1 are investigated along with the confinement of small amounts of this alcohol to enhance the CO2 capture for i-PrOH@InOF-1 (1.25-fold improvement compared to pristine InOF-1). InOF-1 exhibited a high affinity towards i-PrOH, experimentally quantified by ΔHads (-55 kJ mol-1), and DFT geometry optimisations showed strong hydrogen bonding between O(i-PrOH) and H(μ2-OH).
