Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) materials have received extensive attention in capture and separation of CO2. Herein, molecular dynamic simulation (MD) and grand canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) simulation were used to investigate the process of negative gas adsorption to DUT-49, an MOF, and the effect of structural transition on the CO2/N2 adsorption and separation behavior. Results showed that DUT-49 underwent stable structural deformation at 20-60 MPa, with a transition between open pore (DUT-49-op) and closed pore (DUT-49-cp). Its adsorption capacity decreased with the increase of temperature. DUT-49-cp owned a contractive framework, exhibiting a considerably decreasing adsorption capacity due to reduction of effective adsorption sites. In addition, its selectivity decreased significantly compared with that of DUT-49-op, and decreased with increase of temperature, which is not conducive to gas separation. The present study provides a scientific basis for the development of adsorbent materials.
