Direct structural observation of CO2‐loaded MOFs is helpful for revealing the specific binding interactions to allow the design of better CO2sorbents, but such direct structural evidence is almost always observed for pure‐component CO2under a pressure of 1 atm or more, which does not really represent practical CO2capture and separation under low partial pressure (≤1 atm) in the presence of other gases. Herein, a series of isoreticular MOFs [Zn(Trz)(R‐BDC)1/2] (FJU‐40‐R, R=H, NH2, Br, or OH) are synthesized. Among them, FJU‐40‐NH2exhibits the highest robustness, and good heat and water resistance, attributed to its intramolecular hydrogen‐bonding interactions. A CO2/N2(15:85, v/v) mixture can be separated efficiently through a column packed bed of FJU‐40‐NH2solid. The structures of CO2‐loaded FJU‐40‐NH2at 1 atm under various atmosphere conditions, including pure CO2, CO2/N2(15:85, v/v), and air, are observed, and it is found that: 1) the mechanism for CO2loading into the cages depends on the CO2partial pressure; 2) FJU‐40‐NH2can capture CO2directly from air, and CO2will have priority to occupy hydrophobic cage‐I, whereas hydrophilic cage‐II containing the amino group is occupied by H2O molecules; 3) the triazolate C−H groups, rather than the amino groups in past observations in dry ice, act as predominant functional sites here under low CO2partial pressure.
