All formate anions possess similar binding mode to the metal center with one oxygen of a particular formate anion binds to one metal center (mu(1) oxygen) and other oxygen binds to two metal centers (mu(2) oxygen). N-2 adsorption studies indicate that the framework displays permanent porosity. The specific surface area of gamma-Mg-formate (BET, 120 m(2) gm(-1)) is lower than the alpha- polymorph (BET, 150 m(2) gm(-1)). However, the initial hydrogen uptake of gamma-Mg-formate reached almost 1.0 wt % when the adsorbate pressure approached 760 Torr at 77 K. This is higher than the hydrogen uptake of alpha-Mg-formate (0.6 wt %). gamma-Mg-formate, shows a moderate affinity and capacity for CO2 (3.4 angstrom kinetic diameter) at 298 K. The CO2 uptake at 760 Torr is 2.01 mmol gm(-1)(47.0 cc gm(-1)). Although this CO2 uptake is somewhat modest, it compares well with the CO2 uptake of several Mg-MOFs and ZIFs reported in the literature.</p>1 aMallick, Arijit1 aSaha, Subhadeep1 aPachfule, Pradip1 aRoy, Sudip1 aBanerjee, Rahul  uhttps://library.ncl.res.in/content/structure-and-gas-sorption-behavior-new-three-dimensional-porous-magnesium-formate-0
