Abstract

Neutron powder diffraction measurements were carried out on the evacuated and CO2-loaded Prussian blue analogue, Fe3[Co(CN)6]2, identifying two distinct CO2 adsorption sites: site A, in which CO2 uniquely bridges between two bare-metal sites, and site B, in which it interacts in a face capping motif. The saturation of site A at low loadings of CO2 demonstrates the favourable nature of the interaction of CO2 with bare-metal sites within the material. © 2013, Royal Society of Chemistry.
