Saturation of Hydrogen Sorption in Zn Benzenedicarboxylate and Zn Naphthalenedicarboxylate

Abstract

We report excess hydrogen saturation values from high-pressure isotherms of metal organic framework structures taken at 77 K. Zn benzendicarboxylate (IRMOF-1) and Zn naphthalendicarboxylate (IRMOF-8) linker structures show identical saturation values of 137 hydrogen molecules on a per unit cell basis, despite the higher sorption potential of IRMOF-8 of 6.1 kJ/mol over that of IRMOF-1 of 4.1kJ/mol. Charge transfer between linker and vertex, as well as surface area, appear to dominate the sorption behavior, over that of linker length in these two systems.
