3COO)
2·4H
2O and CPHFP (2,2΄-bis(4-carboxyphenyl)hexafluoro-propane)
under hydrothermal conditions. This
FMOF-Co has been characterized by elemental analysis, infrared spectroscopy,
thermogravimetric analysis, single-crystal and powder X-ray diffraction. The crystal
is of monoclinic space group

The structure of FMOF-Co is constructed form the linkage of Co(II) through
CPHFP, forming a 3D net framework. The Kr and Xe uptake
values are 0.225 and 0.484 mmol·g
–1 at 303 K (100 KPa) with their
mol selectivity to be 0.46; while the Kr and Xe uptake values are 0.486 and 0.077
mmol·g
–1 at 233 K (100 KPa), with their mol separation being
6.29 at this condition.
