An Ultrastable and Easily Regenerated Hydrogen‐Bonded Organic Molecular Framework with Permanent Porosity

A robust hydrogen-bonded organic framework HOF-TCBP (H₄ TCBP=3,3',5,5'-tetrakis-(4-carboxyphenyl)-1,1'-biphenyl) has been successfully constructed and structurally characterized. It possesses a permanent 3D porous structure with a 5-fold interpenetrated dia topological network. This activated HOF-TCBP has a high BET surface area of 2066 m² g⁻¹ and is capable of highly selective adsorption and separation of light hydrocarbons under ambient conditions. It shows excellent thermal stability, as demonstrated by PXRD experiments and N₂ adsorption tests. Practical use of HOF-TCBP is facilitated by the ease of its preparation and renewal through rotary evaporation.
