The thesis’s first section covers the most recent achievements made in developing MOFs for DAC potential. It provides a detailed account of structural approaches, examines MOFs’ DAC performance under different conditions, and discusses the CO2 adsorption pathways. The second section of the thesis encapsulates the key results published in three journal articles related to this work. The results and discussion section detail the preparation of an amino-triazole-based N-rich bent ligand and the structural determination of its sixteen new molecular salts, each assisted by different anions. Several characterization techniques were employed to fully understand these anion-templated supramolecular assemblies, which are self-assembled by a combination of noncovalent interactions, constituting different protonation sites and a versatile spectrum of conformations of the bent ligand.
