Abstract

Two pillared-layer metal-organic frameworks with pcu network were synthesized by the mechanochemical reaction of three components (ZnO, 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole (Hatz) or 3,5-diamino-1,2,4-triazole (Hdatz), and isophthalic acid (H2ipa) at room temperature with space-time yield up to 4800 ​kgm−3 day−1. The mechanochemically-synthesized [Zn2(atz)2(ipa)] (Zn-atz-ipa) and [Zn2(datz)2(ipa)] (Zn-datz-ipa) exhibit the high purity and porosity with BET surface areas of 655 and 572 m2g-1 respectively, which are comparable with those synthesized by the traditional solvothermal method. In C2H4/C2H6 (v/v ​= ​1/1) breakthrough experiment, Zn-datz-ipa can preferentially adsorb C2H6 over C2H4, showing a great potential for one-step purification of C2H4. In addition, this mechanochemical method can be scaled up to 100 ​mmol magnitude with single-pass production up to 20.0 ​g.
