Abstract

A μ4-Cl bridged anionic sodalite-type porous metal–organic framework (Et2NH2)3[(Cu4Cl)3(TTCA)8]·26DEF was synthesized, in which Et2NH2+ can be exchanged by Li+ cations. The results of gas measurements indicate that Et2NH2+ and Li+ are beneficial for methane and hydrogen storage, respectively.
