AI Article Synopsis

  • The dinuclear mesocate [Fe2L3](BF4)4 is used to create a microporous material with a complex 3D framework.
  • Extensive noncovalent interactions in the solid-state help form microporous channels that allow guest molecules to enter.
  • The material shows a strong preference for adsorbing CO2 over N2, indicating its potential for gas separation applications.

Article Abstract

The dinuclear mesocate [Fe2L3](BF4)4, 1, is a supramolecular building block for a microporous material. Structural analysis reveals that extensive noncovalent interactions in the solid state generate a 3D framework with microporous channels. These channels are permanently accessible to incoming guest molecules and adsorption isotherms demonstrate that the material has a high selectivity for CO2 over N2.
