Abstract
A solid state composition is provided having the formula Cu(A).sub.n Z, where A is CO or olefin, n>1 and Z is a unitary or composite monovalent anion. Further provided are an apparatus adapted to adsorb and a method for adsorbing an adsorbate A from a fluid mixture. The apparatus and method employ an adsorbent having the formula Cu(A), Z, where A is CO or olefin, n>0 and Z is a unitary or composite monovalent anion. Z can be selected from the group consisting of: a) X.sup.- where X.sup.- is BF.sub.4.sup.-,PF.sub.6.sup.- or SbF.sub.6.sup.- ; b) (Al.sub.x (OR).sub.y).sup.- where R is fluoroalkyl or perfluoroalkyl, and x is 0 and y is 1, or x is 1 and y is 4; c) (RCO.sub.2).sup.- where R is alkyl, fluoroalkyl, perfluoroalkyl, aryl, fluoroaryl or perfluoroaryl; d) (RSO.sub.3).sup.- where R is alkyl, fluoroalkyl, perfluoroalkyl, aryl, fluoroaryl or perfluoroaryl; e) (H(RCO.sub.2).sub.2).sup.- where R is alkyl, fluoroalkyl, perfluoroalkyl, aryl, fluoroaryl or perfluoroaryl; f) (H(RSO.sub.3).sub.2).sup.- where R is alkyl, fluoroalkyl, perfluoroalkyl, aryl, fluoroaryl or perfluoroaryl; g) (N(SO.sub.2 R).sub.x R'.sub.y).sup.- where R is fluoroalkyl, perfluoroalkyl, aryl, fluoroaryl or perfluoroaryl, R' is alkyl, fluoroalkyl, perfluoroalkyl, aryl, fluoroaryl or perfluoroaryl, x+y=2 and x=1 or 2; h) (C(SO.sub.2 R.sub.x R'.sub.y).sup.- where R is fluoroalkyl, perfluoroalkyl, aryl, fluoroaryl or perfluoroaryl, R' is hydrogen, alkyl, fluoroalkyl, perfluoroalkyl , aryl, fluoroaryl or perfluoroaryl, x+y=3 and x=1, 2 or 3; i) (CB.sub.11 H.sub.12-m X.sub.m).sup.- where m is from 0 to 12, and X is at least one member selected from the group consisting of halogen, alkyl, fluoroalkyl, perfluoroalkyl, aryl, fluoroaryl and perfluoroaryl; j) (CB.sub.9 H.sub.10-m X.sub.m).sup.- where m is from 0 to 10, and X is at least one member selected from the group consisting of halogen, alkyl, fluoroalkyl, perfluoroalkyl, aryl, fluoroaryl and perfluoroaryl; and k) (CB.sub.11 F.sub.11 R).sup.- where R is alkyl, fluoroalkyl, perfluoroalkyl, aryl, fluoroaryl, perfluoroaryl or ammonium.
