Abstract

CD-MOF, an extended framework incorporating the C8 symmetric cyclic oligosaccharide, γ-cyclodextrin (γ-CD), is based on the coordination of alkali metal cations to alternating α-1,4-linked d-glucopyranosyl units on the primary and secondary faces of the γ-CD tori. Here, we report the synthesis and characterisation of an amino-functionalised CD-MOF that is isostructural with pristine CD-MOF and adsorbs CO2 permanently.
