Abstract
Fluorinated metal-organic frameworks ('FMOFs') are capable of adsorbing and desorbing gases and molecules. The FMOFs can be arranged in a variety of configurations and have internal hollow channels and cavities. In the FMOFs, hydrogen atoms have been substituted completely or partially with fluorine atoms or fluorinated groups in each linking organic ligand. The FMOFs have high densities, leading to an enhanced volumetric capacity for gas storage.
