The reaction of N‐rich pyrazinyl triazolyl carboxyl ligand 3‐(4‐carboxylbenzene)‐5‐(2‐pyrazinyl)‐1 H ‐1,2,4‐triazole (H 2 cbptz) with MnCl 2 afforded 3D cationic metal–organic framework (MOF) [Mn 2 (Hcbptz) 2 (Cl)(H 2 O)]Cl ⋅ DMF ⋅ 0.5 CH 3 CN ( 1 ), which has an unusual (3,4)‐connected 3,4T1 topology and 1D channels composed of cavities. MOF 1 has a very polar framework that contains exposed metal sites, uncoordinated N atoms, narrow channels, and Cl − basic sites, which lead to not only high CO 2 uptake, but also remarkably selective adsorption of CO 2 over N 2 and CH 4 at 298–333 K. The multiple CO 2 ‐philic sites were identified by grand canonical Monte Carlo simulations. Moreover, 1 shows excellent stability in natural air environment. These advantages make 1 a very promising candidate in post‐combustion CO 2 capture, natural‐gas upgrading, and landfill gas‐purification processes.
