As a result, Ni-MOF and Zn-MOF demonstrated preferential adsorption of CO_(2) over methane molecules in the gas phase adsorption due to the higher quadruple moment of CO_(2), which interacts more with the positively charged frameworks. Besides, in aqueous media, Ni-MOF and Zn-MOF exhibited incredible adsorption efficiency for anionic dyes. In the following, Ni-MOF was metallated at the carbene site of the azolium linker to generate the novel heterogeneous catalyst Pd/Ni-MOF, which was successfully applied for Sonogashira and Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reactions without losing its activity after three cycles.展开更多
