Water Adsorption in Flexible Gallium-Based MIL-53 Metal–Organic Framework

2014

Understanding the adsorption of water in metal–organic frameworks (MOF), and particularly in soft porous crystals, is a crucial prerequisite before considering MOFs for industrial applications. We report here a joint experimental and theoretical study on the behavior of a gallium-based breathing MOF, Ga-MIL-53, upon water adsorption. By looking at the energetics and thermodynamics of Ga-MIL-53, we demonstrate why it behaves differently from its sibling Al-MIL-53, showing a different phase at room temperature (a nonporous phase) and the presence of a hydrated narrow-pore structure at gas saturation pressure. Moreover, we present a complete water vapor pressure vs temperature phase diagram of…
