Metal Organic Frameworks (MOFs) have obtained great
consideration as carbon dioxide adsorbents, due to
their particularly high pore volume and the possibility to
shape their pore structures [1-3]. Even though, MOFs
can be unstable [4]; hence, the purpose of the reported
research was the synthesis of a relatively thermally stable
Cu-succinic metal organic framework (Cu-Su-MOF), their
structural characterization and the investigation of their
adsorption properties. The questions to be answered were
the elucidation of their structure, thermal stability, and
the relation between framework expansion during high
pressure adsorption and the structure of the degassed
material. The as-synthesized and degassed materials
were studied with scanning electron microscopy, energy
dispersive X-ray analysis, diffuse reflectance infrared and
Raman spectrometry, thermo-gravimetric analysis, X-ray
diffraction, magnetic measurements and low and high
pressure carbon dioxide adsorption.
