NOTT-202 is a two-part chemical compound that is capable of selectively absorbing carbon dioxide.[1] It is a metal–organic framework (MOF) that functions like a sponge, adsorbing selected gases at high pressures. Its creation was announced by scientists in 2012.[2] The researchers claimed this structure was an entirely new class of porous material.[3]
