Crossover Sorption of C 2 H 2 /CO 2 and C 2 H 6 /C 2 H 4 in Soft Porous Coordination Networks. Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2023; 62:e202308438. [PMID: 37534579 DOI: 10.1002/anie.202308438] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/14/2023] [Revised: 08/02/2023] [Accepted: 08/03/2023] [Indexed: 08/04/2023]
Abstract
Porous sorbents are materials that are used for various applications, including storage and separation. Typically, the uptake of a single gas by a sorbent decreases with temperature, but the relative affinity for two similar gases does not change. However, in this study, we report a rare example of "crossover sorption," in which the uptake capacity and apparent affinity for two similar gases reverse at different temperatures. We synthesized two soft porous coordination polymers (PCPs), [Zn2 (L1)(L2)2 ]n (PCP-1) and [Zn2 (L1)(L3)2 ]n (PCP-2) (L1= 1,4-bis(4-pyridyl)benzene, L2=5-methyl-1,3-di(4-carboxyphenyl)benzene, and L3=5-methoxy-1,3-di(4-carboxyphenyl)benzene). These PCPs exhibits structural changes upon gas sorption and show the crossover sorption for both C2 H2 /CO2 and C2 H6 /C2 H4 , in which the apparent affinity reverse with temperature. We used in situ gas-loading single-crystal X-ray diffraction (SCXRD) analysis to reveal the guest inclusion structures of PCP-1 for C2 H2 , CO2 , C2 H6 , and C2 H4 gases at various temperatures. Interestingly, we observed three-step single-crystal to single-crystal (sc-sc) transformations with the different loading phases under these gases, providing insight into guest binding positions, nature of host-guest or guest-guest interactions, and their phase transformations upon exposure to these gases. Combining with theoretical investigation, we have fully elucidated the crossover sorption in the flexible coordination networks, which involves a reversal of apparent affinity and uptake of similar gases at different temperatures. We discovered that this behaviour can be explained by the delicate balance between guest binding and host-guest and guest-guest interactions.

Abstract
The purification of light olefins is one of the most important chemical separations globally and consumes large amounts of energy. Porous materials have the capability to improve the efficiency of this process by acting as solid, regenerable adsorbents. However, to develop translational systems, the underlying mechanisms of adsorption in porous materials must be fully understood. Herein, we report the adsorption and dynamic separation of C2 and C3 hydrocarbons in the metal-organic framework MFM-300(In), which exhibits excellent performance in the separation of mixtures of ethane/ethylene and propyne/propylene. Unusually selective adsorption of ethane over ethylene at low pressure is observed, resulting in selective retention of ethane from a mixture of ethylene/ethane, thus demonstrating its potential for a one-step purification of ethylene (purity > 99.9%). In situ neutron powder diffraction and inelastic neutron scattering reveal the preferred adsorption domains and host-guest binding dynamics of adsorption of C2 and C3 hydrocarbons in MFM-300(In).

Abstract
The preferential capture of ethane (C2H6) over ethylene (C2H4) presents a very cost-effective and energy-saving means applied to adsorptive separation and purification of C2H4 with a high product purity, which is however challenged by low selectivity originating from their similar molecular sizes and physical properties. Substituent engineering has been widely employed for selectivity regulation and improvement, but its effect on C2H6/C2H4 separation has been rarely explored to date. In this work, four isoreticular coordination framework compounds based on 5-(pyridin-3-yl)isophthalate ligands bearing different substituents were rationally constructed. As revealed by isotherm measurements, thermodynamic studies, and IAST computations, they exhibited promising utility for C2H6/C2H4 separation with moderate adsorption heat and a high uptake amount at a relatively low-pressure domain. Furthermore, the C2H6/C2H4 separation potential can be finely tuned and optimized via purposeful substituent alteration. Most remarkably, functionalization with a nonpolar methyl group yielded an improved separation efficiency compared to its parent compound. This work offers a good reference value for enhancing the C2H6/C2H4 separation efficiency of MOFs by engineering the pore microenvironment and dimensions via substituent manipulation.

Abstract
Implementation of lanthanide-organic frameworks (LOFs) as solid adsorbents has been frequently handicapped by their permanent porosity being difficult to establish owing to the remarkable flexibility and diversity of lanthanide ions in terms of coordination number and geometry. Construction of robust LOFs with permanent porosity for industrially important hydrocarbon separation will greatly expand their application potential. In this work, by distributing N and O donors into an m-terphenyl skeleton, we rationally synthesized a heterofunctional linker, and constructed a pair of isostructural LOFs. Due to the inclusion of a rarely observed three-dimensional metal-carboxylate backbone serving as a highly connected inorganic secondary building unit, their permanent porosities were successfully established by diverse gas isotherms. They can be applied as separating media not only for natural gas purification and removal of carbon dioxide from C2 hydrocarbons but also more importantly for single-step ethylene (C2H4) purification from a three-component C2Hn mixture during the adsorption process. The latter separation is very challenging and has been less reported in the literature. This work provides a unique example of LOFs featuring three-dimensional inorganic connectivity applied to multipurpose hydrocarbon separations.
