Strong hydrogen binding within a 3D microporous metal-organic framework

Inorg Chem. 2009 Sep 21;48(18):8656-8. doi: 10.1021/ic900968d.

Abstract

A 3D microporous cadmium(II) metal-organic framework based on 1H-tetrazole exhibits strong hydrogen binding with an initial enthalpy of adsorption of 13.3 kJ/mol, due to the smaller pore sizes and the high hydrogen binding affinity of the tetrazolyl-ring-decorated inner surface of the pores.
