Three porous coordination polymers Cu₃(btc)₂ (HKUST-1) (btc = benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylate) (1), Zn₂(bdc)₂dabco (2) (bdc = benzene-1,4-dicarboxylate, dabco = 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane), and Cr₃F(H₂O)₂O(bdc)₃ (MIL-101) (3) were evaluated as methane storage materials. The compounds were synthesized using solvothermal method and identified as pure phases using powder X-ray diffraction. Nitrogen physisorption at 77 K revealed a high specific micropore volume ranging from 0.75 to 1.303 cm³ g^-1. Methane adsorption isotherms were measured using gravimetric method at 303 K up to 200 bar. A volumetric miniature tank system was used to measure the effective volumetric storage capacity taking the packing density into account. Among the three materials, Cu₃(btc)₂ shows the highest excess adsorption at 303 K (15.7 wt.%) and effective volumetric storage capacity of 228 m³ m^-3 (150 bar), whereas for Zn₂(bdc)₂dabco and MIL-101 the maximum excess adsorption is lower (14.3 and 14.2 wt.%, respectively). For MIL-101, the maximum in the excess adsorption is observed at higher pressure (125 bar) as compared to Cu₃(btc)₂ and Zn₂(bdc)₂dabco (75 bar).
