Widespread access to greener energy is required in order to mitigate the effects of climate change. A significant barrier to cleaner natural gas usage lies in the safety/efficiency limitations of storage technology. Despite highly porous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) demonstrating record-breaking gas-storage capacities, their conventionally powdered morphology renders them non-viable.

- The metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) M(BPZNO) (with M being Co, Cu, Zn) were synthesized and analyzed, showcasing their robust thermal stability, with decomposition temperatures reaching up to 663 K for Zn(BPZNO).
- These MOFs feature unique 3D structures with channels, decorated by polar NO groups, and exhibit specific surface areas between 400 to 900 m²/g, indicating their micro-mesoporous nature.
- Notably, Zn(BPZNO) demonstrates exceptional CO adsorption capacity and selectivity, outperforming existing nitro-functionalized MOFs, with significant insights into the interactions between the framework's C(3)-NO group and carbon dioxide during gas uptake.
