By designing and synthesizing tetrahedral metal supramolecular nanocage based on triptycene derivatives, the gas adsorption and separation performance of the nanocage was studied. The results showed that the tetrahedral supramolecular nanocage exhibited good CO2 storage capacity and separation capacity for C2H2/CO2 and C2H2/N-2.
Porous organometallic nanomaterials are a new class of materials based on a three-dimensional structure. They have excellent applications in different fields, but their applications in gas storage and separation have not been fully developed. CO2 adsorption storage and hydrocarbon separation has been a challenging industrial problem. Several typical molecular adsorbents have been used to study the separation, but the problems of long-term stability, high selectivity and synthetic complexity of these adsorbents remain to be solved. Here, we have designed and synthesized tetrahedral metal supramolecular nanocage with custom cavities based on the unique rigid structure of triptycene derivatives. Using the unique discrete porous structure of tetrahedral metal nanocages, the gas adsorption and separation performance of the metal supramolecular nanocage was investigated. By analyzing the adsorption and desorption isotherms and the multi-component competitive adsorption curves, we noticed that the tetrahedral supramolecular nanocages had good CO2 storage capacity and good separation capacity for C2H2/CO2 and C2H2/N-2. All these indicate that porous organic metal nanomaterials are expected to be a new energy saving separation material.
