Abstract
Adsorptive separation technology provides an effective approach for separating gases with similar physicochemical properties, such as the purification of acetylene (C2H2) from carbon dioxide (CO2). The high designability and tunability of metal-organic framework (MOF) adsorbents make them ideal design platforms for this challenging separation. Herein, we employ an isoreticular functionalization strategy to fine-tune the pore environment of Zr- and Th-based UiO-66 by the immobilization of the benzothiadiazole group via bottom-up synthesis. The functionalized UPC-120 exhibits an enhanced C2H2/CO2 separation performance, which is confirmed by adsorption isotherms, dynamic breakthrough curves, and theoretical simulations. The synergy of ligand functionalization and metal ion fine-tuning guided by isoreticular chemistry provides a new perspective for the design and development of adsorbents for challenging gas separation processes.

Abstract
Effective separation of ethyne from ethyne/ethylene (C2 H2 /C2 H4 ) mixtures is a challenging and crucial industrial process. Herein, an ultra-microporous metal-organic framework (MOF) platform, Cd(dicarboxylate)2 (ditriazole), with triangular channels is proposed for high-efficiency separation of C2 H2 from C2 H4 . The targeted structures are constructed via a mixed-ligand strategy by selecting different-sized ligands, allowing for tunable pore sizes and volumes. The pore properties can be further optimized by additional modification via pore environment tailoring. This concept leads to the successful synthesis of three ultra-microporous Cd-MOFs (JLU-MOF87-89). As intended, C2 H2 uptake and C2 H2 /C2 H4 selectivity gradually increase with progressively optimizing the pore structure by adjusting ligand length and substituents. JLU-MOF89, functionalized with methyl groups, features the most optimal pore chemistry and shows selective recognition of C2 H2 over C2 H4 , owing to the framework-C2 H2 host-guest interactions. Furthermore, JLU-MOFs are fabricated into mixed-matrix membranes for C2 H2 /C2 H4 separation. C2 H2 permeability and C2 H2 /C2 H4 permselectivity are substantially enhanced by ≥400% and ≥200%, respectively, after hybridization of JLU-MOF88 and JLU-MOF89 with a polyimide polymer (6FDA-ODA). These membranes can work efficiently and are stable under different conditions, demonstrating their potential in actual ethyne separation.

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
Fluorinated metal-organic frameworks (F-MOFs) as fast-growing porous materials have revolutionized the field of gas separation due to their tunable pore apertures, appealing chemical features, and excellent stability. A deep understanding of their structure-performance relationships is critical for the synthesis and development of new F-MOFs. This critical review has focused on several strategies for the precise design and synthesis of new F-MOFs with structures tuned for specific gas separation purposes. First, the basic principles and concepts of F-MOFs as well as their structure, synthesis and modification and their structure to property relationships are studied. Then, applications of F-MOFs in adsorption and membrane gas separation are discussed. A detailed account of the design and capabilities of F-MOFs for the adsorption of various gases and the governing principles is provided. In addition, the exceptional characteristics of highly stable F-MOFs with engineered pore size and tuned structures are put into perspective to fabricate selective membranes for gas separation. Systematic analysis of the position of F-MOFs in gas separation revealed that F-MOFs are benchmark materials in most of the challenging gas separations. The outlook and future directions of the science and engineering of F-MOFs and their challenges are highlighted to tackle the issues of overcoming the trade-off between capacity/permeability and selectivity for a serious move towards industrialization.

Abstract
The binary adsorption of CO2 and water on an amine-functionalized UiO-66 metal-organic framework (MOF) was studied experimentally and computationally. Grand canonical Monte Carlo simulations were used to investigate three additional UiO-66 MOFs with different functionalized linkers. Each MOF was studied in a defect-free form as well as two additional forms with precise linker defects. Binary adsorption isotherms are presented for CO2 at specific water loadings. While water loading in defect-free MOFs reduces the CO2 uptake, the defects slightly boost the CO2 uptake at low water loadings. It was found that water bridges form between the metal oxide cores, replacing the missing linkers. Effectively, this creates smaller pores that are more welcoming of CO2 adsorption. Experimental measurement of the binary isotherms for UiO-66-NH2 shows a behavior that is consistent with this enhancement.
