COMOC-2, a flexible vanadium-containing metal–organic framework, was investigated for its adsorption and separation properties of light hydrocarbons. COMOC-2 is an extended version of the MIL-47 framework with 4,4′-biphenyldicarboxylic acid linkers instead of terephthalic acid. Adsorption isotherms...
