Abstract
The separation of acetylene (C2H2) from ethylene (C2H4) and ethane (C2H6) is crucial for the production of high-purity C2H2 and the recovery of other gases. Polyhedron-based metal-organic frameworks (PMOFs) are characterized by their spacious cavities, which facilitate gas trapping, and cage windows with varying sizes that enable gas screening. In this study, we carefully selected a class of PMOFs based on V-type tetracarboxylic acid linker (JLU-Liu22 containing benzene ring, JLU-Liu46 containing urea group and recombinant reconstructed In/Cu CBDA on the basis of JLU-Liu46) to study the relationship between pore environment and C2 adsorption and separation performance. Among the three compounds, JLU-Liu46 exhibits superior selectivity toward C2H2/C2H4 (2.06) as well as C2H2/C2H6 (2.43). Comparative structural analysis reveals that the exceptional adsorbed-C2H2 performance of JLU-Liu46 can be attributed to the synergistic effects arising from coordinatively unsaturated Cu sites combined with an optimal pore environment (matched pore size and polarity, urea functional group), resulting in a strong affinity between the framework and C2H2 molecules. Furthermore, transient breakthrough simulations of JLU-Liu46 confirmed its potential for separating C2H2 in ternary C2 gas.

Abstract
Trigonal planar M3(O/OH) trimers are among the most important clusters in inorganic chemistry and are the foundational features of multiple high-impact MOF platforms. Here we introduce a concept called isoreticular cluster series and demonstrate that M3(O/OH), as the first member of a supertrimer series, can be combined with a higher hierarchical member (double-deck trimer here) to advance isoreticular chemistry. We report here an isoreticular series of pore-space-partitioned MOFs called M3M6 pacs made from co-assembly between M3 single-deck trimer and M3x2 double-deck trimer. Important factors were identified on this multi-modular MOF platform to guide optimization of each module, which enables the phase selection of M3M6 pacs by overcoming the formation of previously-always-observed same-cluster phases. The new pacs materials exhibit high surface area and high uptake capacity for CO2 and small hydrocarbons, as well as selective adsorption properties relevant to separation of industrially important mixtures such as C2H2/CO2 and C2H2/C2H4. Furthermore, new M3M6 pacs materials show electrocatalytic properties with high activity.

Abstract
Removal and recovery of methyl chloride (CH3Cl) from exhaust gas of organic silicon industry is highly important from the perspective of environment and economy. For the first time, a tailor-made microporous coordination polymer (Mn-BDC-TPA) was synthesized and applied to the efficient capture and recovery of CH3Cl from related gas mixtures. The high adsorption capacity of CH3Cl (163.4 cm3/g) and high adsorption selectivity of CH3Cl over other impurity gases (1965 for N2, 65 for CH4, and 16 for C2H6) were achieved at 298 K and 100 kPa due to the dual-cage pore system and larger polarizability of CH3Cl. Dynamic breakthrough experiments demonstrate the excellent CH3Cl recovery performance (capacity of >98 cm3/g and purity of >95%) in one adsorption-desorption cycle from the CH3Cl-involved binary, ternary, or quaternary gas mixture.

Abstract
The accurate, sensitive, and selective on-site screening of volatile aldehyde biomarkers for lung cancer is of utmost significance for preclinical cancer diagnosis and treatment. Applying surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) for gas sensing remains difficult due to the small Raman cross section of most gaseous molecules and interference from other components in exhaled breath. Using an Au asymmetrically coated TiO2 nanochannel membrane (Au/TiO2 NM) as the substrate, a ZIF-8-covered Au/TiO2 NM SERS sensing substrate is designed for the detection of exhaled volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Au/TiO2 NM provides uniformly amplified Raman signals for trace measurements in this design. Importantly, the interfacial nanocavities between Au nanoparticles (NPs) and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) served as gaseous confinement cavities, which is the key to enhancing the capture and adsorption ability toward gaseous analytes. Both ends of the membrane are left open, allowing gas molecules to pass through. This facilitates the diffusion of gaseous molecules and efficient capture of the target analyte. Using benzaldehyde as a typical gas marker model of lung cancer, the Schiff base reaction with a Raman-active probe molecule 4-aminothiophene (4-ATP) pregrafted on Au NPs enabled trace and multicomponent detection. Moreover, the combination of machine learning (ML) and Raman spectroscopy eliminates subjective assessments of gaseous aldehyde species with the use of a single feature peak, allowing for more accurate identification. This membrane sensing device offers a promising design for the development of a desktop SERS analysis system for lung cancer point-of-care testing (POCT).

Abstract
Ultrafine tuning of MOF structures at subangstrom or picometer levels can help improve separation selectivity for gases with subtle differences. However, for MOFs with a large enough pore size, the effect from ultrafine tuning on sorption can be muted. Here we show an integrative strategy that couples extreme pore compression with ultrafine pore tuning. This strategy is made possible by unique combination of two features of the partitioned acs (pacs) platform: multimodular framework and exceptional tolerance toward isoreticular replacement. Specifically, we use one module (ligand 1, L1) to shrink the pore size to an extreme minimum on pacs. A compression ratio of about 30% was achieved (based on the unit cell c/a ratio) from prototypical 1,4-benzenedicarboxylate-pacs to trans-1,3-cyclobutanedicarboxylate-pacs. This is followed by using another module (ligand 2, L2) for ultrafine pore tuning (<3% compression). This L1-L2 strategy increases the C2H2/CO2 selectivity from 2.6 to 20.8 and gives rise to an excellent experimental breakthrough performance. As the shortest cyclic dicarboxylate that mimics p-benzene-based moieties using a bioisosteric (BIS) strategy on pacs, trans-1,3-cyclobutanedicarboxylate offers new opportunities in MOF chemistry.

Abstract
Chiral metal organic frameworks (CMOFs) are a kind of crystal porous framework material that has attracted increasing attention due to the customizable combination of metal nodes and organic ligands. In particular, the highly ordered crystal structure and rich adjustable chiral structure make it a promising material for developing new chiral separation material systems. In this review, the progress of CMOFs and their different types of composites used as chiral stationary phases (CSPs) in liquid chromatography for enantioseparation are discussed. The characteristics of CMOFs and their composites are summarized, aiming to provide new ideas for the development of CMOFs with better performance and further promote the application of CMOFs materials in enantioselective high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).

Abstract
Selective-adsorption separation is an energy-efficient technology for the capture of acetylene (C2H2) from carbon dioxide (CO2) and ethylene (C2H4). However, it remains a critical challenge to effectively recognize C2H2 among CO2 and C2H4, owing to their analogous molecule sizes and physical properties. Herein, we report a new microporous metal–organic framework (NUM-14) possessing a carefully tailored pore system containing moderate pore size and nitro-functionalized channel surface for efficient separation of C2H2 from CO2 and C2H4. The activated NUM-14 (namely NUM-14a) exhibits sufficient pore space to acquire excellent C2H2 loading capacity (4.44 mmol g−1) under ambient conditions. In addition, it possesses dense nitro groups, acting as hydrogen bond acceptors, to selectively identify C2H2 molecules rather than CO2 and C2H4. The breakthrough experiments demonstrate the good actual separation ability of NUM-14a for C2H2/CO2 and C2H2/C2H4 mixtures. Furthermore, Grand Canonical Monte Carlo simulations indicate that the pore surface of the NUM-14a has a stronger affinity to preferentially bind C2H2 over CO2 and C2H4 via stronger C-H···O hydrogen bond interactions. This article provides some insights into customizing pore systems with desirable pore sizes and modifying groups in terms of MOF materials toward the capture of C2H2 from CO2 and C2H4 to promote the development of more MOF materials with excellent properties for gas adsorption and separation.

Abstract
The detailed mechanism of metal-organic-framework (MOF)-based separation materials is still obscure, which obviously hinders their actual application. To address this problem, a trinuclear Cu-cluster-based MOF with a minimum metal-active plane was synthesized for the study of the very challenging C2H2/C2H4 and C2H2/CO2 separations. Via dispersion-corrected density functional theory calculations, it is indicated that the difference of the adsorption energy accounts for the excellent separation properties toward C2H2/C2H4 and C2H2/CO2 mixtures, while the frontier molecular orbitals demonstrate that the adsorption-energy difference originates from the orbital-symmetry difference of gas molecules. All of these results provide not only deep insight into the separation mechanism but also an alternative strategy to prepare efficient adsorbents.
