✦ Synopsis

Copper(II) terephthalate absorbs a large amount of gases such as N 2 , Ar, O 2 , and Xe. The maximum amounts of absorption of gases were 1.8, 1.9, 2.2, and 0.9 mole per mole of the copper(II) salt for N 2 , Ar, O 2 , and Xe, respectively, indicating that the gases were not adsorbed on the surface but occluded within the solid. Other microporous copper(II) dicarboxylates are also reviewed. The porous structure of copper(II) terephthalate, in which the gas is occluded, is deduced from the temperature dependence of magnetic susceptibilities and the linear structure of terephthalate. Microporous molybdenum(II) and ruthenium(II, III) dicarboxylates are discussed. We describe that rhodium(II) monocarboxylate bridged by pyrazine form stable micropores by self-assembly of in5nite linear chain complexes.
