Microwave Synthesis of the CPM‐5 Metal Organic Framework

Abstract The metal organic framework CPM‐5 (crystalline porous materials) was successfully synthesized and characterized for the first time using microwave irradiation as a rapid and facile synthesis method in about 10 min compared to several days crystallization time required for the conventional solvothermal approaches. Furthermore, CPM‐5 produced by microwave‐assisted synthesis exhibited a very high surface area of 2187 m 2 g –1 compared to, e.g., 580 m 2 g –1 of the conventionally synthesized samples. Moreover, the as‐synthesized CPM‐5 showed high carbon dioxide uptake.
