TL;DR: A crystal engineering or reticular chemistry strategy that controls pore functionality and size in a series of MOMs with coordinately saturated metal centres and periodically arrayed hexafluorosilicate anions enables a ‘sweet spot’ of kinetics and thermodynamics that offers high volumetric uptake at low CO2 partial pressure (less than 0.15 bar).

TL;DR: Gas sorption measurements reveal that [Cu(bpy-1)(2)(SiF(6))] exhibits the highest uptake for CO(2) yet seen at 298 K and 1 atm by a PCP that does not contain open metal sites, and larger pores and surface area are observed than previously observed, but the PCP retains a highCO(2)/CH(4) relative uptake.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors performed GCMC simulations of CO2 sorption and separation in [Zn(pyz)2SiF6], a metal-organic material (MOM) consisting of a square grid of Zn2+ ions coordinated to pyrazine (pyz), linkers and pillars of SiF62− ions.

TL;DR: This review covers the historical development of this important class of CPs before addressing recent studies of variants which incorporate 4,4'-bipyridine and related linkers to facilitate control over pore size and inorganic anion pillars to enable strong interactions with polarizable molecules such as CO2.

TL;DR: In this article, a metal-organic material (MOM) with the formula [Cu(bpy)2SiF6] (bpy = 4,4′-bipyridine) is considered.
