“Doubling the anion occupancy in the channels of the metal organic framework (NiII-based MOF → CoIII-based MOF) increases the observed adsorption selectivity for CO2 over N2. These robust isostructural MOFs were assembled using AgBF4
to activate the secondary coordination instructions present in the carefully designed monometallic pyrazine imide complexes of nickel(II) and cobalt(II or III).
