Abstract
A promising class of porous crystalline materials, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), have recently emerged as a potential material in fabricating mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) for gas separation applications. Their unique chemistry and structural versatility offer substantial advantages over conventional fillers. This review gives an in-depth exploration of MOF chemistry, focusing on strategies to manipulate their adsorption behavior to enhance separation properties. We scrutinize the impact of various MOF-based MMM components, including polymer matrix, MOFs fillers and polymer/filler interface, on the overall gas separation performance. This involves a detailed analysis of key parameters associated with MMM preparation. Additionally, we offer a comprehensive overview of the determining factors in MOF-based MMM development for gas separation, including MOF structure, synthesis, and chemistry. Moreover, the most advances in modification strategies of MOF for CO2 separation, such as a wide variety of hybrid MOFs will be outlined, which opens the door to an improved CO2 separation process. Finally, the gas transport mechanisms of MMMs are thoroughly discussed to understand the factors affecting the gas permeation through the polymer matrix, MOFs and interface between them.

Abstract
The one-step purification of ethylene (C2 H4 ) from mixtures containing ethane (C2 H6 ) and acetylene (C2 H2 ) is an industrially important yet challenging process. In this work, we present a site-engineering strategy aimed at manipulating the spatial distribution of binding sites within a confined pore space. We realized successfully by incorporating nitrogen-containing heterocycles, such as indole-5-carboxylic acid (Ind), benzimidazole-5-carboxylic acid (Bzz), and indazole-5-carboxylic acid (Izo), into the robust MOF-808 platform via post-synthetic modification. The resulting functionalized materials, namely MOF-808-Ind, MOF-808-Bzz, and MOF-808-Izo, demonstrated significantly improved selectivity for C2 H2 and C2 H6 over C2 H4 . MOF-808-Bzz with two uniformly distributed nitrogen binding sites gave the optimal geometry for selective ethane trapping through multiple strong C-H⋅⋅⋅N hydrogen bonds, leading to the highest C2 H2 /C2 H4 and C2 H6 /C2 H4 combined selectivities among known MOFs. Column breakthrough experiments validated its ability to purify C2 H4 from ternary C2 H2 /C2 H4 /C2 H6 mixtures in a single step.

Abstract
The purification of light hydrocarbons is one of the most important chemical processes globally which consumes substantial energy. Porous materials are likely to improve the efficiency of the separation process by acting as regenerable solid adsorbents. To investigate such translational systems, the underlying mechanism of adsorption in the porous materials must be taken into account. Herein we report the adsorption and selective separation of C1-C4 hydrocarbons in the coinage metal-based macrocyclic metallocavitand Pillarplex, which exhibits excellent performance in the adsorption of CH4 at the ambient conditions with a binding energy of -17.9 kcal mol-1. In addition, the endohedral adsorption of C2-C4 hydrocarbon is impressive. The CH4, C2H4, C3H4, and 1,3-butadiene have potential uptake of 2.57, 4.26, 3.60, and 2.95 mmol g-1, respectively at ambient conditions are highest from their respective isomers. Selective separation of C1-C4 hydrocarbons is studied using ideal adsorption solution theory demonstrating its potential for one-step purification of C1-C3 hydrocarbons.
