abstract  ="Two rht-type metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) based upon the tetrazolate moiety and pyrazolate moiety{,} respectively{,} have been investigated for carbon dioxide (CO2) adsorption and selective adsorption of CO2 over CH4{,} which shows that the rht-MOF featuring the pyrazolate moiety demonstrates superior performances compared to the rht-MOF based on the tetrazolate moiety. In spite of more exposed nitrogen atoms in the tetrazolate-based rht-MOF{,} the counter-intuitive observations of CO2 capture in the two rht-MOFs were interpreted by computational studies{,} which reveal that the local electric field favours more than the richness of exposed nitrogen atoms for the interactions with CO2 molecules."}
