A three-dimensional triply interpenetrated mixed metal-organic framework, Zn{sub 2}(BBA){sub 2}(CuPyen) {center_dot} G{sub x} (M'MOF-20; BBA = biphenyl-4,4'-dicarboxylate; G = guest solvent molecules), of primitive cubic net was obtained through the solvothermal reaction of Zn(NO{sub 3}){sub 2}, biphenyl-4,4'-dicarboxylic acid, and the salen precursor Cu(PyenH{sub 2})(NO{sub 3}){sub 2} by a metallo-ligand approach. The triple framework interpenetration has stabilized the framework in which the activated M'MOF-20a displays type-I N{sub 2} gas sorption behavior with a Langmuir surface area of 62 m{sup 2} g{sup -1}. The narrow pores of about 3.9 {angstrom} and the open metal sites on the pore surfaces within M'MOF-20a collaboratively induce its highly selective C{sub 2}H{sub 2}/CH{sub 4} and CO{sub 2}/CH{sub 4} gas separation at ambient temperature.
