Metal-inorganic frameworks (“MIFs”) having enhanced adsorption capabilities to hydrogen, CO, CO.sub.2, hydrocarbons, and a variety of other guest molecules are disclosed. All linkers in the MIFs contain metal complexes, comprising metal atoms and inorganic or organic ligands, instead of only organic ligands as linkers in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). Compared to their MOF counterparts, MIFs with carbon-free or carbon-deficient chemical structure are expected to possess enhanced thermal stability, higher catalytic activity, and higher gas affinity and selectivity.

Disclosed by the present invention is a method for preparing a reactive sealant resin, the method comprising: (1) under the action of an alkali catalyst, polymerizing a hydroxyl-containing initiator with an epoxy compound to obtain a polyether polyol; (2) adding an alkoxide reagent and a halogenated end-capping agent containing a double bond to the polyether polyol obtained in step (1) for reaction, so as to obtain a crude double-bonded polyether product, and refining the crude product to obtain a modified polyether product; and (3) subjecting the modified polyether and hydrogen-containing silane to silane end-capping reaction under the action of a hydrosilylation catalyst, so as to obtain the target product, i.e., a reactive sealant resin. The resin has excellent properties as well as good adhesion and paintability.
