Claim 12:
13. A method of separating a compound from a mixture of gases comprising:
contacting a metal organic framework (MOF) having a ftw or ftw-a topology with a mixture of gases including at least one compound selected from the group consisting of H2, N2, O2, CO2, H2S, H2O, hydrocarbons, linear hydrocarbons, branching hydrocarbons, and aromatic hydrocarbons; and
adsorbing the at least one compound in the MOF, thereby separating the compound from the mixture;, wherein the MOF having a ftw or ftw-a topology comprises a plurality of polynuclear metal clusters, wherein at least one of the polynuclear metal clusters includes a rare earth metal; and a plurality of polydentate ligands each linking two or more of the polynuclear metal clusters wherein the plurality of polydentate ligands is a square or quadrangular ligand.
