Abstract

A chromium(II)-based metal-organic framework, Cr3[Cr4Cl)3(BTT)8]2 (Cr-BTT;BTT3- = 1,3,5-benzenetrisetrazolate), featuring coordinatively-unsaturated, redox-active Cr2+ cation sites was synthesized and investigated for potential applications in H2 adsorption and neutron powder diffraction experiments reveal moderately strong Cr-H2 interactions, in line with results from previously reported M-BTT frameworks. Notably, gas adsorption measurements also reveal excellent O2/N2 selectivity with substantial O2 reversibility at room temperature, based on selective electron transfer to form CrIII- superoxide moieties. Infrared spectroscopy and powder neutron diffraction experiments were used to confirm this mechanism of selective O2 binding.
