Moreover, atomically detailed simulation studies of complex 2 for CO2/CH4 adsorption and separation were performed. Complex 1 consists of two dimensional (2D) (4,4) grid networks with the point symbol of 4(4).6(2). Complex 2 exhibits a 3-fold interpenetrating 3D framework with 6(5).8-dmp topology. Thermal properties of the complexes showed that both complexes were stable over 320 C. Simulation studies demonstrated that complex 2 can separate CO2 from CH4 at low pressures at 273 K.
