Adsorption of large-ring aromatic sulfur compounds from model fuel on Cu-MOF Basolite proceeds at 25°C (in hours) to yield stoichiometric adsorption complexes. Adsorption/desorption at 25-115 °C depends on molecular size: larger molecules bind stronger to Cu-MOF. DFT computations of adsorption complexes show contributions from both S-Cu bonding and dispersive interactions.
