MOFs as adsorbents for low temperature heating and cooling applications

The 3D metal-organic framework (MOF)(3)-{[Ni-3(mu(3)-btc)(2)(mu(4)-btre)(2)(mu-H2O)(2)]center dot similar to 22H(2)O} is found to be a reversibly dehydratable-hydratable water-stable MOF material with a Large Loading spread of 210 g/kg as a candidate for solid adsorbents in heat transformation cycles for refrigeration, heat pumping, and heat storage.
