*The OMS density of MOFs was calculated based on the crystal information files.

The framework density was calculated from single-crystal X-ray data.

Density of adsorbed C2H2 in bulk material.

§Pressure of C2H2 at 295 K corresponding to the calculated density of adsorbed C2H2 in bulk material.

||Data for FJI-H8 at 308 K.

The value of C2H2 uptake by OMS is larger than the sum value maybe because of the interaction between open Mg(II) sites and acetylene molecules are so weak that open Mg(II) sites cannot be fully loaded.
