Supramolecular Entanglement in a Hydrogen-Bonded Organic Framework Enables Flexible-Robust Porosity for Highly Efficient Purification of Natural Gas. Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2024; 63:e202404734. [PMID: 38635373 DOI: 10.1002/anie.202404734] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/08/2024] [Revised: 04/03/2024] [Accepted: 04/18/2024] [Indexed: 04/20/2024]
Abstract
The development of porous materials with flexible-robust characteristics shows some unique advantages to target high performance for gas separation, but remains a daunting challenge to achieve so far. Herein, we report a carboxyl-based hydrogen-bonded organic framework (ZJU-HOF-8a) with flexible-robust porosity for efficient purification of natural gas. ZJU-HOF-8a features a four-fold interpenetrated structure with dia topology, wherein abundant supramolecular entanglements are formed between the adjacent subnetworks through weak intermolecular hydrogen bonds. This structural configuration could not only stabilize the whole framework to establish the permanent porosity, but also enable the framework to show some flexibility due to its weak intermolecular interactions (so-called flexible-robust framework). The flexible-robust porosity of ZJU-HOF-8a was exclusively confirmed by gas sorption isotherms and single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies, showing that the flexible pore pockets can be opened by C3H8 and n-C4H10 molecules rather by C2H6 and CH4. This leads to notably higher C3H8 and n-C4H10 uptakes with enhanced selectivities than C2H6 over CH4 under ambient conditions, affording one of the highest n-C4H10/CH4 selectivities. The gas-loaded single-crystal structures coupled with theoretical simulations reveal that the loading of n-C4H10 can induce an obvious framework expansion along with pore pocket opening to improve n-C4H10 uptake and selectivity, while not for C2H6 adsorption. This work suggests an effective strategy of designing flexible-robust HOFs for improving gas separation properties.

Abstract
The development of novel soft porous crystals (SPCs) that can be transformed from nonporous to porous crystals is significant because of their promising applications in gas storage and separation. Herein, we systematically investigated for the first time the gas-triggered gate-opening behavior of three-dimensional covalent organic frameworks (3D COFs) with flexible building blocks. FCOF-5, a 3D COF containing C-O single bonds in the backbone, exhibits a unique "S-shaped" isotherm for various gases, such as CO2, C2, and C3 hydrocarbons. According to in situ characterization, FCOF-5 undergoes a pressure-induced closed-to-open structural transition due to the rotation of flexible C-O single bonds in the framework. Furthermore, the gated hysteretic sorption property of FCOF-5 can enable its use as an absorbent for the efficient removal of C3H4 from C3H4/C3H6 mixtures. Therefore, 3D COFs synthesized from flexible building blocks represent a new type of SPC with gate-opening characteristics. This study will strongly inspire us to design other 3D COF-based SPCs for interesting applications in the future.

Abstract
Constructing effective and robust biocatalysts with carbonic anhydrase (CA)-mimetic activities offers an alternative and promising pathway for diverse CO2-related catalytic applications. However, there is very limited success has been achieved in controllably synthesizing CA-mimetic biocatalysts. Here, inspired by the 3D coordination environments of CAs, this study reports on the design of an ultrafast ZnN3-OH2 center via tuning the 3D coordination structures and mesoporous defects in a zinc-dipyrazolate framework to serve as new, efficient, and robust CA-mimetic biocatalysts (CABs) to catalyze the hydration reactions. Owing to the structural advantages and high similarity with the active center of natural CAs, the double-walled CAB with mesoporous defects displays superior CA-like reaction kinetics in p-NPA hydrolysis (V0 = 445.16 nM s-1, Vmax = 3.83 µM s-1, turnover number: 5.97 × 10-3 s-1), which surpasses the by-far-reported metal-organic frameworks-based biocatalysts. This work offers essential guidance in tuning 3D coordination environments in artificial enzymes and proposes a new strategy to create high-performance CA-mimetic biocatalysts for broad applications, such as CO2 hydration/capture, CO2 sensing, and abundant hydrolytic reactions.

Abstract
The concept of an expanding MOF with unexpanded channel size was realized in MOF NTUniv-61 by the utilization of a ketone-functional-group-decorated semirigid ligand and pillar-layer platform. After this unusual expansion, the preferential C2H6 adsorption was preserved via the unchanged pore size, and the functional group was inserted into the MOF. Interestingly, the C2H2 uptake ability, C2H4 selective adsorption ability, and structural stability were obviously enhanced due to the incorporation of the ketone functional group, which were further verified by isosteric heats of adsorption (Qst), GCMC modeling, and breakthrough experiments.

Shape-Memory Effect Enabled by Ligand Substitution and CO 2 Affinity in a Flexible SIFSIX Coordination Network. Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2023; 62:e202309985.

Abstract
We report that linker ligand substitution involving just one atom induces a shape-memory effect in a flexible coordination network. Specifically, whereas SIFSIX-23-Cu, [Cu(SiF6 )(L)2 ]n , (L=1,4-bis(1-imidazolyl)benzene, SiF6 2- =SIFSIX) has been previously reported to exhibit reversible switching between closed and open phases, the activated phase of SIFSIX-23-CuN , [Cu(SiF6 )(LN )2 ]n (LN =2,5-bis(1-imidazolyl)pyridine), transformed to a kinetically stable porous phase with strong affinity for CO2 . As-synthesized SIFSIX-23-CuN , α, transformed to less open, γ, and closed, β, phases during activation. β did not adsorb N2 (77 K), rather it reverted to α induced by CO2 at 195, 273 and 298 K. CO2 desorption resulted in α', a shape-memory phase which subsequently exhibited type-I isotherms for N2 (77 K) and CO2 as well as strong performance for separation of CO2 /N2 (15/85) at 298 K and 1 bar driven by strong binding (Qst =45-51 kJ/mol) and excellent CO2 /N2 selectivity (up to 700). Interestingly, α' reverted to β after re-solvation/desolvation. Molecular simulations and density functional theory (DFT) calculations provide insight into the properties of SIFSIX-23-CuN .

Abstract
We report the first systematic study experimentally investigating the effect of changes to the divalent metal node on the thermodynamic stability of three-dimensional (3D) and two-dimensional (2D) zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) based on 2-methylimidazolate linkers. In particular, the comparison of enthalpies of formation for materials based on cobalt, copper, and zinc suggests that the use of nodes with larger ionic radius metals leads to the stabilization of the porous sodalite topology with respect to the corresponding higher-density diamondoid (dia)-topology polymorphs. The stabilizing effect of metals is dependent on the framework topology and dimensionality. With previous works pointing to solvent-mediated transformation of 2D ZIF-L structures to their 3D analogues in the sodalite topology, thermodynamic measurements show that contrary to popular belief, the 2D frameworks are energetically stable, thus shedding light on the energetic landscape of these materials. Additionally, the calorimetric data confirm that a change in the dimensionality (3D → 2D) and the presence of structural water within the framework can stabilize structures by as much as 40 kJ·mol-1, making the formation of zinc-based ZIF-L material under such conditions thermodynamically preferred to the formation of both ZIF-8 and its dense, dia-topology polymorph.

Abstract
Modulated self-assembly protocols are used to develop facile, HF-free syntheses of the archetypal flexible PCP, MIL-53(Cr), and novel isoreticular analogues MIL-53(Cr)-Br and MIL-53(Cr)-NO2. All three PCPs show good SO2 uptake (298 K, 1 bar) and high chemical stabilities against dry and wet SO2. Solid-state photoluminescence spectroscopy indicates all three PCPs exhibit turn-off sensing of SO2, in particular MIL-53(Cr)-Br, which shows a 2.7-fold decrease in emission on exposure to SO2 at room temperature, indicating potential sensing applications.

Abstract
Efficient separation of hexane isomers is a crucial process for upgrading gasoline. Herein, the sequential separation of linear, mono-, and di-branched hexane isomers by a robust stacked 1D coordination polymer termed as Mn-dhbq ([Mn(dhbq)(H2 O)2 ], H2 dhbq = 2,5-dihydroxy-1,4-benzoquinone) is reported. The interchain space of the activated polymer is of optimal aperture size (5.58 Å) that could exclude 2,3-dimethylbutane, while the chain structure can discriminate n-hexane with high capacity (1.53 mmol g-1 at 393 K, 6.67 kPa) by high-density open metal sites (5.18 mmol g-1 ). With the temperature- and adsorbate-dependent swelling of interchain spaces, the affinity between 3-methylpentane and Mn-dhbq can be deliberately controlled from sorption to exclusion, and thus a complete separation of ternary mixture can be achieved. Column breakthrough experiments confirm the excellent separation performance of Mn-dhbq. The ultrahigh stability and easy scalability further highlight the application prospect of Mn-dhbq for separation of hexane isomers.

Abstract
Due to the similar kinetic diameters of C2H2, C2H4, and C2H6, one-step purification of C2H4 from a ternary C2H2/C2H4/C2H6 mixture by adsorption separation is still a challenge. Based on a C2H6-trapping platform and crystal engineering strategy, the N atom and amino group were introduced into NTUniv-58 and NTUniv-59, respectively. Gas adsorption testing of NTUniv-58 showed that both the C2H2 and C2H4 uptake capacities and the C2H2/C2H4 separation ability were boosted compared with the original platform. However, the C2H4 uptake value exceeds the C2H6 adsorption data. For NTUniv-59, the C2H2 uptake at low pressure increased and the C2H4 uptake decreased; thus, the C2H2/C2H4 selectivity was enhanced and the one-step purification of C2H4 from a ternary C2H2/C2H4/C2H6 mixture was realized, which was supported by the enthalpy of adsorption (Qst) and breakthrough testing. Grand canonical monte carlo (GCMC) simulation indicated that the preference for C2H2 over C2H4 originates from multiple hydrogen-bonding interactions between amino groups and C2H2 molecules.

Abstract
Flexi-MOFs are typically limited to low-connected (<9) frameworks. Here we report a platform-wide approach capable of creating a family of high-connected materials (collectively called CPM-220) that integrate exceptional framework flexibility with high rigidity. We show that the multi-module nature of the pore-space-partitioned pacs (partitioned acs net) platform allows us to introduce flexibility as well as to simultaneously impose high rigidity in a tunable module-specific fashion. The inter-modular synergy has remarkable macro-morphological and sub-nanometer structural impacts. A prominent manifestation at both length scales is the retention of X-ray-quality single crystallinity despite huge hexagonal c-axial contraction (≈ 30%) and harsh sample treatment such as degassing and sorption cycles. CPM-220 sets multiple precedents and benchmarks on the pacs platform in both structural and sorption properties. They possess exceptionally high benzene/cyclohexane selectivity, unusual C3H6 and C3H8 isotherms, and promising separation performance for small gas molecules such as C2H2/CO2.

Abstract
Flexible metal-organic materials that exhibit stimulus-responsive switching between closed (non-porous) and open (porous) structures induced by gas molecules are of potential utility in gas storage and separation. Such behaviour is currently limited to a few dozen physisorbents that typically switch through a breathing mechanism requiring structural contortions. Here we show a clathrate (non-porous) coordination network that undergoes gas-induced switching between multiple non-porous phases through transient porosity, which involves the diffusion of guests between discrete voids through intra-network distortions. This material is synthesized as a clathrate phase with solvent-filled cavities; evacuation affords a single-crystal to single-crystal transformation to a phase with smaller cavities. At 298 K, carbon dioxide, acetylene, ethylene and ethane induce reversible switching between guest-free and gas-loaded clathrate phases. For carbon dioxide and acetylene at cryogenic temperatures, phases showing progressively higher loadings were observed and characterized using in situ X-ray diffraction, and the mechanism of diffusion was computationally elucidated.

Abstract
The potential of nanocomposite membranes (NCMs) prepared by the sodium alginate polymer and embedded with synthesized zeolitic imidazole framework-8 (ZIF-8) as fillers having microporous structure in the application of separation of gaseous mixture generated by the process of methane reforming was assessed. ZIF-8 crystals were created through hydrothermal synthesis, with sizes varying from 50 to 70 nm. NCMs were prepared with a 15% filler loading, i.e., synthesized ZIF-8. NCMs (ZIF-8) having H2 permeability of 28 Barrer and H2/CH4 selectivity of 125 outperformed neat polymer membranes in terms of separation performance at ambient temperature and 4 kg/cm2 pressure. The purity of H2 increased to as high as 95% among the measured values. The NCMs did not, however, outperform a neat polymer membrane in terms of their ability to separate mixtures of gases. Moreover, the combination of ZIF-8 as a filler with sodium alginate was new and had not been reported previously. As a result, it is worthwhile to investigate.

Abstract
To precisely evaluate the potential of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for gas separation and purification applications, it is crucial to understand how various molecules competitively adsorb inside MOFs. In this paper, we combine in situ infrared spectroscopy with ab initio calculations to investigate the mechanisms associated with coadsorption of several small molecules, including CO, NO, and CO2 inside the prototypical structure Ni-MOF-74. Surprisingly, we find that the displacement of CO bound inside Ni-MOF-74 (binding energy of 53 kJ/mol) is readily driven by CO2 exposure, even though CO2 has a noticeably weaker binding energy of only 41 kJ/mol; meanwhile, the significantly more strongly binding NO molecule (90 kJ/mol) is not able to easily displace bound CO inside Ni-MOF74. These results show that single-phase binding energies of a molecule inside the MOF cannot completely describe their interaction with the MOF in the presence of other guest molecules. We unveil many crucial factors, such as the kinetic barrier, partial pressure, secondary binding sites, and guest-host/lateral interactions that control the coadsorption process and, combined with the binding energy, are better descriptors of the behavior and adsorption of gas mixtures inside MOFs.

Abstract
Switching coordination networks (CNs) featuring stepped sorption isotherms that are accompanied by phase changes offer promise for gas storage and separation applications. However, their responsiveness to different adsorbates remains largely understudied. Herein, we report the variable switching behaviour of a previously known square lattice (sql) topology CN, [Ni(4,4'-bipyridine)2(NCS)2] (sql-1-Ni-NCS), with respect to nine gaseous adsorbates.

Abstract
Porous solids with channel sizes that are not much above the size of small hydrocarbons can yield extremely large adsorption selectivity. Our Grand Canonical Monte-Carlo simulations indicate exceptionally high selectivity for the separation of methane, ethane and propane from natural gas. At 250 K the C3H8/CH4 separation on MIL-127 at low pressure has a selectivity of more than 1000 and the C3H8/CH4 separation on CNT (9,9) is even above 2000. This is due to the strong molecule lattice interaction in narrow channels which leads to large enthalpies of adsorption. The Arrhenius law for the Henry coefficients is analysed in order to show that the effect is due to this enthalpy rather than to steric reasons.

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.

Abstract
A combination of gas adsorption and gas breakthrough measurements show that the metal-organic framework, Al(HCOO)3 (ALF), which can be made inexpensively from commodity chemicals, exhibits excellent CO2 adsorption capacities and outstanding CO2/N2 selectivity that enable it to remove CO2 from dried CO2-containing gas streams at elevated temperatures (323 kelvin). Notably, ALF is scalable, readily pelletized, stable to SO2 and NO, and simple to regenerate. Density functional theory calculations and in situ neutron diffraction studies reveal that the preferential adsorption of CO2 is a size-selective separation that depends on the subtle difference between the kinetic diameters of CO2 and N2. The findings are supported by additional measurements, including Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, and variable temperature powder and single-crystal x-ray diffraction.

Abstract
Propane/propylene separation is one of the most challenging and energy-consuming but most important tasks in the petrochemical industry. Herein, a stable hydrogen-bonded organic framework (HOF-FJU-1) was tailor-made for highly efficient propylene separation from binary C3H6/C3H8 and even seven component CH4/C2H4/C2H6/C3H6/C3H8/CO2/H2 mixtures. The temperature-controllable diffusion channels in HOF-FJU-1 have enabled the porous material to completely exclude propane to reach high-performance propylene purification under energy-efficient operation conditions. Single-crystal structural analysis revealed that the well-matched pore aperture of HOF-FJU-1 can exactly accommodate propylene molecules via multiple intermolecular interactions, exhibiting a very high propylene/propane selectivity of 616 at 333 K. The propylene purity and productivity are over 99.5% and 30.2 L kg-1 from the binary C3H6/C3H8 (50/50) mixture at 333 K. Through a follow-up column separation of C3H6/C2H4 at 353 K, not only high-purity propylene (99.5%) but also ethylene (98.3%) can be readily collected from the seven component CH4/C2H4/C2H6/C3H6/C3H8/CO2/H2 (31/10/25/10/10/1/13) cracking gas mixtures. The great potential of HOF-FJU-1 for the industrial propylene separation process has been further supported by the high stability of this porous material under different environments and straightforward processibility and regeneration feasibility.

Abstract
Atomic-level understanding of the gate-opening phenomenon in flexible porous materials is an important step toward learning how to control, design, and engineer them for applications such as the separation of gases from complex mixtures. Here, we report such mechanistic insight through an in-depth study of the pressure-induced gate-opening phenomenon in our earlier reported metal-organic framework (MOF) Zn(dps)2(SiF6) (dps = 4,4'-dipyridylsulfide), also called UTSA-300, using isotherm and calorimetry measurements, in situ infrared spectroscopy, and ab initio simulations. UTSA-300 is shown to selectively adsorb acetylene (C2H2) over ethylene (C2H4) and ethane (C2H6) and undergoes an abrupt gate-opening phenomenon, making this framework a highly selective gas separator of this complex mixture. The selective adsorption is confirmed by pressure-dependent in situ infrared spectroscopy, which, for the first time, shows the presence of multiple C2H2 species with varying strengths of bonding. A rare energetic feature at the gate-opening condition of the flexible MOF is observed in our differential heat energies, directly measured by calorimetry, showcasing the importance of this tool in adsorption property exploration of flexible frameworks and offering an energetic benchmark for further energy-based fundamental studies. Based on the agreement of this feature with ab initio-based adsorption energies of C2H2 in the closed-pore structure UTSA-300a ("a" refers to the activated form), this feature is assigned to the weakening of the H-bond C-H···F formed between C2H2 and fluorine of the MOF. Our analysis identifies the weakening of this H-bond, the expansion of the closed-pore MOF upon successive C2H2 coadsorption until its volume is close to that of the open-pore MOF, and the spontaneous gate opening to energetically favor C2H2 adsorption in the open-pore structure as crucial steps in the gate-opening mechanism in this system.

Abstract
Purification of C2H4 from a ternary C2H2/C2H6/C2H4 mixture by one-step adsorption separation is of prime importance but challenging in the petrochemical industry; however, effective strategies to design high-performance adsorbents are lacking. We herein report for the first time the incorporation of Lewis basic sites into a C2H6-selective MOF, enabling efficient one-step production of polymer-grade C2H4 from ternary mixtures. Introduction of amino groups into highly stable C2H6-selective UiO-67 can not only partition large pores into smaller cagelike pockets to provide suitable pore confinement but also offer additional binding sites to simultaneously enhance C2H2 and C2H6 adsorption capacities over C2H4. The amino-functionalized UiO-67-(NH2)2 thus exhibits exceptionally high C2H2 and C2H6 uptakes as well as benchmark C2H2/C2H4 and C2H6/C2H4 selectivities, surpassing all of the C2H2/C2H6-selective materials reported so far. Theoretical calculations combined with in situ infrared spectroscopy indicate that the synergetic effect of suitable pore confinement and functional surfaces decorated with amino groups provides overall stronger multipoint van der Waals interactions with C2H2 and C2H6 over C2H4. The exceptional performance of UiO-67-(NH2)2 was evidenced by breakthrough experiments for C2H2/C2H6/C2H4 mixtures under dry and wet conditions, providing a remarkable C2H4 productivity of 0.55 mmol g-1 at ambient conditions.

Abstract
The removal of carbon dioxide (CO2) from acetylene (C2H2) is a critical industrial process for manufacturing high-purity C2H2. However, it remains challenging to address the tradeoff between adsorption capacity and selectivity, on account of their similar physical properties and molecular sizes. To overcome this difficulty, here we report a novel strategy involving the regulation of a hydrogen-bonding nanotrap on the pore surface to promote the separation of C2H2/CO2 mixtures in three isostructural metal-organic frameworks (MOFs, named MIL-160, CAU-10H, and CAU-23, respectively). Among them, MIL-160, which has abundant hydrogen-bonding acceptors as nanotraps, can selectively capture acetylene molecules and demonstrates an ultrahigh C2H2 storage capacity (191 cm3 g-1, or 213 cm3 cm-3) but much less CO2 uptake (90 cm3 g-1) under ambient conditions. The C2H2 adsorption amount of MIL-160 is remarkably higher than those for the other two isostructural MOFs (86 and 119 cm3 g-1 for CAU-10H and CAU-23, respectively) under the same conditions. More importantly, both simulation and experimental breakthrough results show that MIL-160 sets a new benchmark for equimolar C2H2/CO2 separation in terms of the separation potential (Δqbreak = 5.02 mol/kg) and C2H2 productivity (6.8 mol/kg). In addition, in situ FT-IR experiments and computational modeling further reveal that the unique host-guest multiple hydrogen-bonding interaction between the nanotrap and C2H2 is the key factor for achieving the extraordinary acetylene storage capacity and superior C2H2/CO2 selectivity. This work provides a novel and powerful approach to address the tradeoff of this extremely challenging gas separation.

Abstract
Herein, the exquisite combination of coplanar [Tm4(CO2)10(μ3-OH)2(μ2-HCO2)(OH2)2] clusters ({Tm4}) and structure-oriented functional BDCP5- leads to the highly robust nanoporous {Tm4}-organic framework {(Me2NH2)[Tm4(BDCP)2(μ3-OH)2(μ2-HCO2)(H2O)2]·7DMF·5H2O}n (NUC-37, H5BDCP = 2,6-bis(2,4-dicarboxylphenyl)-4-(4-carboxylphenyl)pyridine). To the best of our knowledge, NUC-37 is the first anionic {Ln4}-based three-dimensional framework with embedded hierarchical microporous and nanoporous channels, among which each larger one is shaped by six rows of coplanar {Tm4} clusters and characterized by plentiful coexisting Lewis acid-base sites on the inner wall including open TmIII sites, Npyridine atoms, μ3-OH and μ2-HCO2. Catalytic experimental studies exhibit that NUC-37 possesses highly selective catalytic activity on the cycloaddition of epoxides with CO2 as well as high recyclability under gentle conditions, which should be ascribed to its nanoscale channels, rich bifunctional active sites, and stable physicochemical properties. This work offers an effective means for synthesizing productive cluster-based Ln-MOF catalysts by employing structure-oriented ligands and controlling the solvothermal reaction conditions.

Abstract
The trade-off between selectivity and adsorption capacity with porous materials is a major roadblock to reducing the energy footprint of gas separation technologies. To address this matter, we report herein a systematic crystal engineering study of C2H2 removal from CO2 in a family of hybrid ultramicroporous materials (HUMs). The HUMs are composed of the same organic linker ligand, 4-(3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)pyridine, pypz, three inorganic pillar ligands, and two metal cations, thereby affording six isostructural pcu topology HUMs. All six HUMs exhibited strong binding sites for C2H2 and weaker affinity for CO2. The tuning of pore size and chemistry enabled by crystal engineering resulted in benchmark C2H2/CO2 separation performance. Fixed-bed dynamic column breakthrough experiments for an equimolar (v/v = 1:1) C2H2/CO2 binary gas mixture revealed that one sorbent, SIFSIX-21-Ni, was the first C2H2 selective sorbent that combines exceptional separation selectivity (27.7) with high adsorption capacity (4 mmol·g−1). Six isostructural hybrid ultramicroporous materials are prepared and characterized Crystal engineering approach enabled fine-tuning of pore size and chemistry Weak CO2/strong C2H2 affinity resulted in high C2H2/CO2 separation selectivities SIFSIX-21-Ni: benchmark selectivity/uptake capacity for C2H2/CO2 separation
It is generally recognized that porous solids (sorbents) with high selectivity and high adsorption capacity offer potential for energy-efficient gas separations. Unfortunately, there is generally a trade-off between capacity and selectivity, which represents a roadblock to the utility of sorbents in key industrial processes. For example, acetylene (C2H2), an important fuel and chemical intermediate, is produced with CO2 as an impurity, and the similar physicochemical properties of C2H2 and CO2 mean that most sorbents are poorly selective. Hybrid ultramicroporous materials (HUMs) are candidates for gas separations as they exhibit benchmark selectivity for several key gas pairs. Unfortunately, existing HUMs are handicapped by low capacity. We report a new HUM, SIFSIX-21-Ni, that addresses the trade-off between selectivity and capacity that has plagued sorbents, as its high uptake and high selectivity renders it the new benchmark for C2H2/CO2 separation performance.

Abstract
Coordination networks (CNs) are a class of (usually) crystalline solids typically comprised of metal ions or cluster nodes linked into 2 or 3 dimensions by organic and/or inorganic linker ligands. Whereas CNs tend to exhibit rigid structures and permanent porosity as exemplified by most metal-organic frameworks, MOFs, there exists a small but growing class of CNs that can undergo extreme, reversible structural transformation(s) when exposed to gases, vapours or liquids. These "soft" or "stimuli-responsive" CNs were introduced two decades ago and are attracting increasing attention thanks to two features: the amenability of CNs to design from first principles, thereby enabling crystal engineering of families of related CNs; and the potential utility of soft CNs for adsorptive storage and separation. A small but growing subset of soft CNs exhibit reversible phase transformations between nonporous (closed) and porous (open) structures. These "switching CNs" are distinguished by stepped sorption isotherms coincident with phase transformation and, perhaps counterintuitively, they can exhibit benchmark properties with respect to working capacity (storage) and selectivity (separation). This review addresses fundamental and applied aspects of switching CNs through surveying their sorption properties, analysing the structural transformations that enable switching, discussing structure-function relationships and presenting design principles for crystal engineering of the next generation of switching CNs.

Abstract
Light olefins are the precursors of all modern-day plastics. Olefin is always mixed with paraffins in the time of production, and therefore it needs to be separated from paraffins to produce polymer-grade olefin. The state-of-the-art separation technique, cryogenic distillation, is highly expensive and hazardous. Adsorption could be a novel, sustainable, and inexpensive separation strategy, provided a suitable adsorbent can be designed. There are different types of mechanisms that were harnessed for the separation of olefins by adsorption, and in this review, we have focused our discussion on those mechanisms. These mechanisms include, (a) Affinity-based separation, like pi complexation and hydrogen bonding, (b) Separation based on pore size and shape, like size-exclusion and gate-opening effect, and (c) Non-equilibrium separation, like kinetic separation. In this review, we have elaborated each of the separation strategies from the fundamental level and explained their roles in the separation processes of different types of paraffins and olefins.

Abstract
In this work, we report a novel strategy to increase the gas adsorption selectivity of metal organic framework materials by coadsorbing another molecular species. Specifically, we find that addition of tightly bound NH3 molecules in the well-known metal-organic framework MOF-74 dramatically alters its adsorption behavior of C2H2 and C2H4. Combining in situ infrared spectroscopy and ab initio calculations, we find that-as a result of coadsorbed NH3 molecules attaching to the open metal sites-C2H2 binds more strongly and diffuses much faster than C2H4, occupying the available space adjacent to metal-bound NH3 molecules. Most remarkably, C2H4 is now almost completely excluded from entering the MOF once C2H2 has been loaded. This finding dispels the widespread belief that strongly coadsorbed species in nanoporous materials always undermine their performance in adsorbing or separating weakly bound target molecules. Furthermore, it suggests a new route to tune the adsorption behavior of MOF materials through harnessing the interactions among coadsorbed guests.

Abstract
New nanoporous materials have the ability to revolutionize adsorption and separation processes. In particular, materials with adaptive cavities have high selectivity and may display previously undiscovered phenomena, such as negative gas adsorption (NGA), in which gas is released from the framework upon an increase in pressure. Although the thermodynamic driving force behind this and many other counterintuitive adsorption phenomena have been thoroughly investigated in recent years, several experimental observations remain difficult to explain. This necessitates a comprehensive analysis of gas adsorption akin to the conformational free energy landscapes used to understand the function of proteins. We have constructed the complete thermodynamic landscape of methane adsorption on DUT-49. Traversing this complex landscape reproduces the experimentally observed structural transitions, temperature dependence, and the hysteresis between adsorption and desorption. The complete thermodynamic description presented here provides unparalleled insight into adsorption and provides a framework to understand other adsorbents that challenge our preconceptions.

Abstract
Through a dual-ligand synthetic approach, five isoreticular primitive cubic (pcu)-type pillared-layer metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), [Zn2 (dicarboxylate)2 (NI-bpy-44)]⋅x DMF⋅y H2 O, in which dicarboxylate=1,4-bdc (1), Br-1,4-bdc (2), NH2 -1,4-bdc (3), 2,6-ndc (4), and bpdc (5), have been engineered. MOFs 1-5 feature twofold degrees of interpenetration and have open pores of 27.0, 33.6, 36.8, 52.5, and 62.1 %, respectively. Nitrogen adsorption isotherms of activated MOFs 1'-5' at 77 K all displayed type I adsorption behavior, suggesting their microporous nature. Although 1' and 3'-5' exhibited type I adsorption isotherms of CO2 at 195 K, MOF 2' showed a two-step gate-opening sorption isotherm of CO2 . Furthermore, MOF 3' also had a significant influence of amine functions on CO2 uptake at high temperature due to the CO2 -framework interactions. MOFs 1-5 revealed solvent-dependent fluorescence properties; their strong blue-light emissions in aqueous suspensions were efficiently quenched by trace amounts of nitrobenzene (NB), with limits of detection of 4.54, 5.73, 1.88, 2.30, and 2.26 μm, respectively, and Stern-Volmer quenching constants (Ksv ) of 2.93×103 , 1.79×103 , 3.78×103 , 4.04×103 , and 3.21×103 m-1 , respectively. Of particular note, the NB-included framework, NB@3, provided direct evidence of the binding sites, which showed strong host-guest π-π and hydrogen-bonding interactions beneficial for donor-acceptor electron transfer and resulting in fluorescence quenching.

Abstract
Purifying alkenes from alkanes requires cryogenic distillation. This consumes energy equivalent to countries of ca. 5 million people. Replacing distillation with adsorption processes would significantly increase energy efficiency. Trade-offs between kinetics, selectivity, capacity, and heat of adsorption have prevented production of an optimal adsorbent. We report adsorbents that overcome these trade-offs. [Cu-Br]3 and [Cu-H]3 are air-stable trinuclear complexes that undergo reversible solid-state inter-molecular rearrangements to produce dinuclear [Cu-Br⋅(alkene)]2 and [Cu-H⋅(alkene)]2 . The reversible solid-state rearrangement, confirmed in situ using powder X-ray diffraction, allows adsorbent design trade-offs to be overcome, coupling low heat of adsorption (-10 to -17 kJ mol-1 alkene ), high alkene:alkane selectivity (47; 29), and uptake capacity (>2.5 molalkene mol-1 Cu3 ). Most remarkably, [Cu-H]3 displays fast uptake and regenerates capacity within 10 minutes.

Abstract
Separation of C2H4 from C2H4/C2H2/C2H6 mixture with high working capacity is still a challenging task. Herein, we deliberately design a Th-metal-organic framework (MOF) for highly efficient separation of C2H4 from a binary C2H6/C2H4 and ternary C2H4/C2H2/C2H6 mixture. The synthesized MOF Azole-Th-1 shows a UiO-66-type structure with fcu topology built on a Th6 secondary building unit and a tetrazole-based linker. Such noticeable structure, is connected by a N,O-donor ligand with high chemical stability. At 100 kPa and 298 K Azole-Th-1 performs excellent separation of C2H4 (purity > 99.9%) from not only a binary C2H6/C2H4 (1:9, v/v) mixture but also a ternary mixture of C2H6/C2H2/C2H4 (9:1:90, v/v/v), and the corresponding working capacity can reach up to 1.13 and 1.34 mmol g-1, respectively. The separation mechanism, as unveiled by the density functional theory calculation, is due to a stronger van der Waals interaction between ethane and the MOF skeleton.

Abstract
Ion homeostasis is essential for cellular survival, and elevated concentrations of specific ions are used to start distinct forms of programmed cell death. However, investigating the influence of certain ions on cells in a controlled way has been hampered due to the tight regulation of ion import by cells. Here, it is shown that lipid-coated iron-based metal-organic framework nanoparticles are able to deliver and release high amounts of iron ions into cells. While high concentrations of iron often trigger ferroptosis, here, the released iron induces pyroptosis, a form of cell death involving the immune system. The iron release occurs only in slightly acidic extracellular environments restricting cell death to cells in acidic microenvironments and allowing for external control. The release mechanism is based on endocytosis facilitated by the lipid-coating followed by degradation of the nanoparticle in the lysosome via cysteine-mediated reduction, which is enhanced in slightly acidic extracellular environment. Thus, a new functionality of hybrid nanoparticles is demonstrated, which uses their nanoarchitecture to facilitate controlled ion delivery into cells. Based on the selectivity for acidic microenvironments, the described nanoparticles may also be used for immunotherapy: the nanoparticles may directly affect the primary tumor and the induced pyroptosis activates the immune system.
