This work presents the construction of a porous lead-organic framework (UPC-10) with large channels of ∼24 Å. UPC-10 shows efficient adsorption of I2 and selective adsorption of some dyes containing the SO3− group. After the adsorption of dyes, UPC-10 exhibits a CO2 gas uptake ability. Furthermore, UPC-10 could be transformed into PbS in a H2S atmosphere, and the derived PbS manifests N2 and CO2 uptake abilities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Two porous metal–organic frameworks (1 and 2) with a fsc topology based on mixed ligands have been assembled and characterized. The different pillared ligands (pyrazine for 1 and 4,4′-bipyridine for 2) significantly influence the pore size of the frameworks. Gas uptake measurements reveal that complex 1 possesses higher H2, CO2, and CH4 uptake capacities than 2, although the surface area of 1 is lower than that of complex 2. These results further experimentally prove that the pore size plays an important role in gas uptake in porous MOFs, and the slit pore with a size of ∼6 Å exhibits stronger interactions with gas molecules.
