Abstract

A method of separating a target component from a chemical mixture comprising contacting a chemical mixture with a microporous coordination polymer. The microporous polymer is described by the formula:[M2(C8H2O6)]where M is a transition metal, rare earth metal, or other element from the groups consisting of IIA through VB.
