This invention relates to a Cu-BTC MOF which is water stable. The Cu-BTC MOF has open coordination sites and has been post synthesis modified by partially occupying the open sites with a ligand such as acetonitrile (CHCN). The resultant MOF retains at least 40% of its as synthesized surface area after exposure to liquid water at 60&#xb0; C. for 6 hours. This is an unexpected result versus the MOF which has not been post treated with ligands such as acetonitrile. This MOF can be used to abate contaminants such as ammonia in gas streams and especially air streams.

Water stable copper paddlewheel metal organic framework (MOF) compositions and processes using the MOFs

A method of adsorbing a highly reactive gas onto an adsorbent material comprising adsorbing the highly reactive gas to the adsorbent material. The adsorbent material comprises at least one Lewis basic functional group, or pores of a size to hold a single molecule of the highly reactive gas, or inert moieties which are provided to the adsorbent material at the same time at the same time as the highly reactive gas, prior to adsorbing the highly reactive gas or after adsorbing the highly reactive gas, or the highly reactive gas reacts with moieties of the adsorbent material resulting in passivation of the adsorbent material. A rate of decomposition of the adsorbed highly reactive gas is lower than a rate of decomposition for the neat gas at equal volumetric loadings and equal temperatures for both the adsorbed highly reactive gas and the neat gas.

Adsorbent-assisted stabilization of highly reactive gases

A porous material, including metal organic frameworks (MOFs) and porous organic polymer (POP), with reactivity with or sorptive affinity towards (a) electronic gas to substantially remove or abate electronic gas in an electronic gas-containing effluent, or (b) contaminants in a stream of electronic gas to substantially remove the contaminants from a stream of electronic gas and increase the purity of said electronic gas, or (c) trace mercury contaminant in a hydrocarbon stream to substantially remove said mercury contaminant and increase the purity of said hydrocarbon stream. MOFs are the coordination product of metal ions and multidentate organic ligands, whereas POPs are the product of polymerization between organic monomers.

Porous polymers for the abatement and purification of electronic gas and the removal of mercury from hydrocarbon streams

A metal organic framework (MOF) includes a coordination product of a metal ion and an at least bidentate organic ligand, where the metal ion and the organic ligand are selected to provide a deliverable adsorption capacity of at least 70 g/l for an electronic gas. A porous organic polymer (POP) includes polymerization product from at least a plurality of organic monomers, where the organic monomers are selected to provide a deliverable adsorption capacity of at least 70 g/l for an electronic gas.

Metal organic frameworks for electronic gas storage

Adsorption systems providing a capacity of at least 200 g/L for oxygen-containing mixtures, or an oxygen-nitrogen selectivity of at least 1.4:1 or at least 1:2 with an adsorbed capacity of at least 0.6 mmol/g at 4 bar and 22&#xb0; C.
