A rapid increase in natural gas production due to advances in exploitation technologies, such as horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing, and its lower emission values for CO, CO2, and NOx make natural gas an economically valid alternative to gasoline. However, the widespread use in light-duty passenger vehicles and small motorized tools and toys is hampered by the low volumetric energy density of natural gas at ambient temperature and pressure (0.04 MJ/L in comparison to 32.4 MJ/L for gasoline). Tanks filled with adsorbents are most promising for a storage and release of natural gas at moderate pressures (35-65 bar) and ambient temperatures. Alternative Fuel Containers, LLC (AFC) is in the process of developing adsorbent filled natural gas tanks for light-duty passenger vehicles, which involves several collaborations with industrial and academic partners to tackle the numerous technical challenges. Objective of this Engage project is the development of a green, low cost, and scalable synthesis of the organic ligand 3,3',5,5'-azobenzene tetracarboxylic acid, which is the organic building block for the metal-organic framework AFC wants to use as adsorbing material in their new generation of natural gas tanks.

由于开采技术的进步，如水平开采，天然气产量迅速增加。 钻井和水力压裂，以及其较低的CO，CO2和NOx排放值，使天然气成为 是汽油的经济有效替代品。然而，在轻型客车中的广泛使用， 小型机动工具和玩具受到环境温度下天然气的低体积能量密度的阻碍 温度和压力（0.04 MJ/L，汽油为32.4 MJ/L）。装有吸附剂的储罐 最有希望在中等压力（35-65巴）和环境压力下储存和释放天然气 温度 替代燃料容器有限责任公司（AFC）正在开发吸附剂填充的天然气储罐， 轻型乘用车，其中涉及与工业和学术合作伙伴的几次合作， 应对众多技术挑战。该Engage项目的目标是开发一种绿色、低成本的 本发明涉及有机配体3，3 '，5，5'-偶氮苯四甲酸的低成本、可规模化合成， 金属有机框架的构建块AFC希望在他们的新的吸附材料中使用 天然气储罐的生成。
