Vibrational Neutron Spectroscopy Studies of Porous Metal-Organic Framework Materials for High Capacity CO2 and Hydrocarbon Adsorption

Abstract: The research of new porous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is receiving considerable attention worldwide owing to their potential for gas adsorption, storage and separation. We seek to develop highly robust MOF materials as high capacity gas storage systems and request 9 days on TOSCA to study the binding interaction between adsorbed gas molecules (CO2/C2H2/C2H4/C2H6) and a robust amide-functionalised porous MOF material (MFM-177) as a function of gas loading. This proposed study will investigate the vibrational properties exhibited by both adsorbed gas substrates and the porous hosts. MFM-177 exhibit exceptionally high storage capacity for CO2 and light hydrocarbons at ambient conditions with fully reversible uptake, suggesting the presence of specific guest-host interaction. The proposal aims to reveal the nature of the gas uptakes by analysing their vibrational/rotational spectra.
