Abstract
Zeolitic octahedral metal oxide is a newly synthesized all-inorganic zeolitic material and has been used for adsorption, separation, and catalysis. Herein, a new zeolitic octahedral metal oxide was synthesized and characterized. The porous framework was established through the assembly of [P2Mo13O50] clusters with PO4 linkers. Guest molecules occupied the framework, which could be removed through heat treatment, thereby opening the micropores. The pore characteristics were controlled by the cations within the micropore, enabling the adjustment of the interactions with alkynes and alkenes. This resulted in good separation performance of ethylene/acetylene and propylene/propyne even under high temperature and humidity conditions. The high stability of the material enabled the efficient recovery and reuse without discernible loss in the separation performance. Due to the relatively weak interaction between the adsorbed alkyne and the framework, the adsorbent facilitated the recovery of a highly pure alkyne. This feature enhances the practical applicability of the material in various industrial processes.

Abstract
The selective splitting of hexane isomers without the use of energy-intensive phase-change processes is essential for the low-carbon production of clean fuels and also very challenging. Here, we demonstrate a strategy to achieve a complete splitting of the high-RON dibranched isomer from the monobranched and linear isomers, by using a nonlinear 3D ligand to form pillar-layered MOFs with delicate pore architecture and chemistry. Compared with its isoreticular MOFs with the same ted pillar but different linear 3D or linear 2D in-layer ligands, the new MOF constructed in this work, Cu(bhdc)(ted)0.5 (ZUL-C5), exhibited an interesting "channel switch" effect which creates pore space with reduced window size and channel dimensionality together with unevenly distributed alkyl-rich adsorption sites, contributing to a greatly enhanced ability to discriminate between mono- and dibranched isomers. Evidenced by a series of studies including adsorption equilibrium/kinetics/breakthrough tests, guest-loaded single-crystal/powder XRD measurement, and DFT-D modeling, a thermodynamic-kinetic synergistic mechanism in the separation was proposed, resulting in a record production time for high-purity 2,2-dimethylbutane along with a high yield.

Abstract
Flexible metal-organic framework (MOF) adsorbents commonly encounter limitations in removing trace impurities below gate-opening threshold pressures. Topology reconfiguration can fundamentally eliminate intrinsic structural flexibility, yet remains a formidable challenge and is rarely achieved in practical applications. Herein, a solvent-mediated approach is presented to regulate the flexible CuSnF6-dpds-sql (dpds = 4,4''-dipyridyldisulfide) with sql topology into rigid CuSnF6-dpds-cds with cds topology. Notably, the cds topology is unprecedented and first obtained in anion-pillared MOF materials. As a result, rigid CuSnF6-dpds-cds exhibits enhanced C2H2 adsorption capacity of 48.61 cm3 g-1 at 0.01 bar compared to flexible CuSnF6-dpds-sql (21.06 cm3 g-1). The topology transformation also facilitates the adsorption kinetics for C2H2, exhibiting a 6.5-fold enhanced diffusion time constant (D/r2) of 1.71 × 10-3 s-1 on CuSnF6-dpds-cds than that of CuSnF6-dpds-sql (2.64 × 10-4 s-1). Multiple computational simulations reveal the structural transformations and guest-host interactions in both adsorbents. Furthermore, dynamic breakthrough experiments demonstrate that high-purity C2H4 (>99.996%) effluent with a productivity of 93.9 mmol g-1 can be directly collected from C2H2/C2H4 (1/99, v/v) gas-mixture in a single CuSnF6-dpds-cds column.

Abstract
Improving the gas separation performance of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) by crystal downsizing is an important but often overlooked issue. Here, we report three different-sized flexible ZUL-520 MOFs (according to the crystal size from large to small, the three samples are, respectively, named ZUL-520-0, ZUL-520-1, and ZUL-520-2) with the same chemical structure for optimizing trace acetylene (C2H2) removal from acetylene/ethylene (C2H2/C2H4) mixture. The three differently sized activated ZUL-520 (denoted as ZUL-520a) exhibited almost identical C2H2 uptake of 4.8 mmol/g at 100 kPa, while the C2H2 uptake at 1 kPa increased with a downsizing crystal. The C2H2 uptake of activated ZUL-520-2 (denoted as ZUL-520-2a) at 1 kPa was ∼55% higher than that of activated ZUL-520-0 (denoted as ZUL-520-0a). The adsorption isotherms and adsorption kinetics validated that gas adsorptive separation is governed not only by adsorption thermodynamics but also by adsorption kinetics. In addition, all three different-sized ZUL-520a MOFs showed high C2H2/C2H4 selectivity. Grand canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) simulations and dispersion-corrected density functional theory (DFT-D) computations illustrated a plausible mechanism of C2H2 adsorption in MOFs. Importantly, breakthrough experiments demonstrated that ZUL-520a can effectively separate the C2H2/C2H4 (1/99, v/v) mixture and the C2H4 productivity obtained by ZUL-520-2a was much higher than that by ZUL-520-0a. Our work may provide an easy but powerful strategy for upgrading the performance of gas adsorptive separation in MOFs.

Abstract
Porous coordination networks (PCNs) sustained by inorganic anions that serve as linker ligands can offer high selectivity toward specific gases or vapors in gas mixtures. Such inorganic anions are best exemplified by electron-rich fluorinated anions, e.g., SiF62-, TiF62-, and NbOF52-, although sulfate anions have recently been highlighted as inexpensive and earth-friendly alternatives. Herein, we report the use of a rare copper sulfate dimer molecular building block to generate two square lattice, sql, coordination networks which can be prepared via solvent layering or slurrying, CuSO4(1,4-bib)1.5, 1, (1,4-bib = 1,4-bisimidazole benzene) and CuSO4(1,4-bin)1.5, 2, (1,4-bin = 1,4-bisimidazole naphthalene). Variable-temperature SCXRD and PXRD experiments revealed that both sql networks underwent reversible structural transformations due to linker rotations or internetwork displacements. Gas sorption studies conducted upon the narrow-pore phase of CuSO4(1,4-bin)1.5, 2np, found a high calculated 1:99 selectivity for C2H2 over C2H4 (33.01) and CO2 (15.18), as well as strong breakthrough performance. Across-the-board, C3H4 selectivity vs C3H6, CO2, and C3H8 was also observed. Sulfate-based PCNs, although still understudied, appear increasingly likely to offer utility in gas and vapor separations.

Abstract
Iso-butene (iso-C4H8) is an important raw material in chemical industry, whereas its efficient separation remains challenging due to similar molecular properties of C4 olefins. The ideal adsorbent should possess simultaneous high uptakes for 1,3-butadiene (C4H6) and n-butene (n-C4H8) counterparts, endowing high efficiency for iso-C4H8 separation in adsorption columns. Herein, a sulfate-pillared adsorbent, SOFOUR-DPDS-Ni (DPDS = 4,4'-dipyridyldisulfide), is reported for the efficient iso-C4H8 separation from binary and ternary C4 olefin mixtures. The rigidity in pore sizes and shapes of SOFOUR-DPDS-Ni exerts the molecular sieving of iso-C4H8, while exhibiting high C4H6 and n-C4H8 uptakes. The benchmark Henry's selectivity for C4H6/iso-C4H8 (2321.8) and n-C4H8/iso-C4H8 (233.5) outperforms most reported adsorbents. Computational simulations reveal the strong interactions for C4H6 and n-C4H8. Furthermore, dynamic breakthrough experiments demonstrate the direct production of high-purity iso-C4H8 (>99.9%) from C4H6/iso-C4H8 (50/50, v/v), n-C4H8/iso-C4H8 (50/50, v/v), and C4H6/n-C4H8/iso-C4H8 (50/15/35, v/v/v) gas-mixtures.

Abstract
Purification of ethylene (C2H4) as the most extensive and output chemical, from complex multi-components is of great significance but highly challenging. Herein we demonstrate that precise pore structure tuning by controlling the network hydrogen bonds in two highly-related porous coordination networks can shift the efficient C2H4 separation function from C2H2/C2H4/C2H6 ternary mixture to CO2/C2H2/C2H4/C2H6 quaternary mixture system. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction revealed that the different amino groups on the triazolate ligands resulted in the change of the hydrogen bonding in the host network, which led to changes in the pore shape and pore chemistry. Gas adsorption isotherms, adsorption kinetics and gas-loaded crystal structure analysis indicated that the coordination network Zn-fa-atz (2) weakened the affinity for three C2 hydrocarbons synchronously including C2H4 but enhanced the CO2 adsorption due to the optimized CO2-host interaction and the faster CO2 diffusion, leading to effective C2H4 production from the CO2/C2H2/C2H4/C2H6 mixture in one step based on the experimental and simulated breakthrough data. Moreover, it can be shaped into spherical pellets with maintained porosity and separation performance.

Interaction-selective molecular sieving adsorbent for direct separation of ethylene from senary C 2-C 4 olefin/paraffin mixture. Nat Commun 2024; 15:625. [PMID: 38245536 PMCID: PMC10799885 DOI: 10.1038/s41467-024-45004-9] [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: 08/02/2023] [Accepted: 01/11/2024] [Indexed: 01/22/2024] Open
Abstract
Olefin/paraffin separations are among the most energy-intensive processes in the petrochemical industry, with ethylene being the most widely consumed chemical feedstock. Adsorptive separation utilizing molecular sieving adsorbents can optimize energy efficiency, whereas the size-exclusive mechanism alone cannot achieve multiple olefin/paraffin sieving in a single adsorbent. Herein, an unprecedented sieving adsorbent, BFFOUR-Cu-dpds (BFFOUR = BF4-, dpds = 4,4'-bipyridinedisulfide), is reported for simultaneous sieving of C2-C4 olefins from their corresponding paraffins. The interlayer spaces can be selectively opened through stronger guest-host interactions induced by unsaturated C = C bonds in olefins, as opposed to saturated paraffins. In equimolar six-component breakthrough experiments (C2H4/C2H6/C3H6/C3H8/n-C4H8/n-C4H10), BFFOUR-Cu-dpds can simultaneously divide olefins from paraffins in the first column, while high-purity ethylene ( > 99.99%) can be directly obtained through the subsequent column using granular porous carbons. Moreover, gas-loaded single-crystal analysis, in-situ infrared spectroscopy measurements, and computational simulations demonstrate the accommodation patterns, interaction bonds, and energy pathways for olefin/paraffin separations.

Abstract
One-step separation of C2 H4 from ternary C2 mixtures by physisorbents remains a challenge to combine excellent separation performance with high stability, low cost, and easy scalability for industrial applications. Herein, we report a strategy of constructing negative electrostatic pore environments in a stable, low-cost, and easily scaled-up aluminum MOF (MOF-303) for efficient one-step C2 H2 /C2 H6 /C2 H4 separation. This material exhibits not only record high C2 H2 and C2 H6 uptakes, but also top-tier C2 H2 /C2 H4 and C2 H6 /C2 H4 selectivities at ambient conditions. Theoretical calculations combined with in situ infrared spectroscopy indicate that multiple N/O sites on pore channels can build a negative electro-environment to provide stronger interactions with C2 H2 and C2 H6 over C2 H4 . Breakthrough experiments confirm its exceptional separation performance for ternary mixtures, affording one of the highest C2 H4 productivity of 1.35 mmol g-1 . This material is highly stable and can be easily synthesized at kilogram-scale from cheap raw materials using a water-based green synthesis. The benchmark combination of excellent separation properties with high stability and low cost in scalable MOF-303 has unlocked its great potential in this challenging industrial separation.

Abstract
One-step adsorption separation of C2H4 from ternary C2 hydrocarbon mixtures remains an important and challenging goal for petrochemical industry. Current physisorbents either suffer from unsatisfied separation performance, poor stability, or are difficult to scale up. Herein, we report a strategy of constructing multiple supramolecular binding sites in a robust and scalable MOF (Al-PyDC) for highly efficient one-step C2H4 purification from ternary mixtures. Owing to suitable pore confinement with multiple supramolecular binding sites, Al-PyDC exhibits one of the highest C2H2 and C2H6 uptakes and selectivities over C2H4 at ambient conditions. The gas binding sites have been visualized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies, unveiling that the low-polarity pore surfaces with abundant electronegative N/O sites provide stronger multiple supramolecular interactions with C2H2 and C2H6 over C2H4. Breakthrough experiments showed that polymer-grade C2H4 can be separated from ternary mixtures with a maximum productivity of 1.61 mmol g-1. This material can be prepared from two simple reagents using a green synthesis method with water as the sole solvent, and its synthesis can be easily scaled to multikilogram batches. Al-PyDC achieves an effective combination of benchmark separation performance, high stability/recyclability, green synthesis and easy scalability to address major challenges for industrial one-step C2H4 purification.

Abstract
Removal of the CO2 impurities from C2H2/CO2 mixtures is an essential process to produce high-purity C2H2. Fabricating an adsorbent capable of discriminating these species, which have close kinetic diameters, is critical for developing advanced adsorption processes. Herein, we demonstrate a strategy to exploit the tunability of interlayer and intralayer spaces of two-dimensional (2D) layered metal-organic frameworks to achieve high performance for C2H2/CO2 separation. This indicates that interlayer symmetrical control can achieve more efficient packing of C2H2 into Ni(4-DPDS)2CrO4, with a high C2H2 capacity of 45.7 cm3·g-1 at 0.01 bar and a selectivity of 67.7 (298 K, 1 bar), which strikes a good balance between working capacity and separation selectivity compared to other isostructural Ni(4-DPDS)2MO4 (M = Mo, W). Crystallographic studies and DFT-D calculations reveal that such a C2H2-selective adsorbent possesses strong binding interactions due to the tailored pore confinement provided by the angular anions and rich electronic environment. Experimental breakthrough results comprehensively demonstrate the efficient C2H2/CO2 separation performance of this unique material.

Abstract
Porous physisorbents are attractive candidates for selective capture of trace gas or volatile compounds due to their low energy footprints. However, many physisorbents suffer from insufficient sorbate-sorbent interactions, resulting in low uptake or inadequate selectivity when gases are present at trace levels. Here, we report a strategy of programmed fluorine binding engineering in anion-pillared metal-organic frameworks to maximize C2H2 binding affinity for benchmark trace C2H2 capture from C2H4. A robust material (ZJU-300a) was elaborately designed to provide multiple-site fluorine binding model, resulting in an ultrastrong C2H2 binding affinity. ZJU-300a exhibits a record-high C2H2 uptake of 3.23 millimoles per gram (at 0.01 bar and 296 kelvin) and one of the highest C2H2/C2H4 selectivity (1672). The adsorption binding of C2H2 and C2H4 was visualized by gas-loaded ZJU-300a structures. The separation capacity was confirmed by breakthrough experiments for 1/99 C2H2/C2H4 mixtures, affording the maximal dynamic selectivity (264) and C2H4 productivity of 436.7 millimoles per gram.

Abstract
Designing a multidimensional transformation of metal-organic coordination polymers (MOPs) is highly attractive yet very challenging. Herein, by combining the dynamicity of the coordination bond with the controllability of the chemical reaction, the concept of self-catalysis transformation of MOPs is first proposed. It uses the metal in MOPs as the catalyst to catalyze the chemical reaction of the ligand in the frameworks, simultaneously changing the coordination environment of the metal and the structure of the ligand, resulting in the controllable multidimensional transformation in the morphology and structure of MOPs. The self-catalysis transformation of MOPs can be triggered by heat or light, and crystals with various morphologies and structures can be obtained. Significantly, because the self-catalysis reaction is constraint in the framework, the products at different transformation processes are relatively stable. Monitoring and characterizing the transformation of MOPs give evidences for the exploration of the self-catalysis reaction, and a plausible transformation mechanism is proposed and proved. It can be foreseen that this novel self-catalysis transformation strategy might open up a new direction for the diverse development of MOPs and provide a powerful tool for the study of organic reaction mechanism.

Abstract
Ultramicroporous materials can be highly effective at trace gas separations when they offer a high density of selective binding sites. Herein, we report that sql-NbOFFIVE-bpe-Cu, a new variant of a previously reported ultramicroporous square lattice, sql, topology material, sql-SIFSIX-bpe-Zn, can exist in two polymorphs. These polymorphs, sql-NbOFFIVE-bpe-Cu-AA (AA) and sql-NbOFFIVE-bpe-Cu-AB (AB), exhibit AAAA and ABAB packing of the sql layers, respectively. Whereas NbOFFIVE-bpe-Cu-AA (AA) is isostructural with sql-SIFSIX-bpe-Zn, each exhibiting intrinsic 1D channels, sql-NbOFFIVE-bpe-Cu-AB (AB) has two types of channels, the intrinsic channels and extrinsic channels between the sql networks. Gas and temperature induced transformations of the two polymorphs of sql-NbOFFIVE-bpe-Cu were investigated by pure gas sorption, single-crystal X-ray diffraction (SCXRD), variable temperature powder X-ray diffraction (VT-PXRD), and synchrotron PXRD. We observed that the extrinsic pore structure of AB resulted in properties with potential for selective C3H4/C3H6 separation. Subsequent dynamic gas breakthrough measurements revealed exceptional experimental C3H4/C3H6 selectivity (270) and a new benchmark for productivity (118 mmol g-1) of polymer grade C3H6 (purity >99.99%) from a 1:99 C3H4/C3H6 mixture. Structural analysis, gas sorption studies, and gas adsorption kinetics enabled us to determine that a binding "sweet spot" for C3H4 in the extrinsic pores is behind the benchmark separation performance. Density-functional theory (DFT) calculations and Canonical Monte Carlo (CMC) simulations provided further insight into the binding sites of C3H4 and C3H6 molecules within these two hybrid ultramicroporous materials, HUMs. These results highlight, to our knowledge for the first time, how pore engineering through the study of packing polymorphism in layered materials can dramatically change the separation performance of a physisorbent.

Abstract
Developing adsorbents with multiple merits in capacity, selectivity, mass transfer, and stability toward C2H2/CO2 separation is crucial and challenging for producing high-purity C2H2 for advanced polymers and the electronic industry. Here, we demonstrate a vertex strategy to create adsorbents combining these merits through rationally designing the vertex groups of a wavy-shaped framework in layered 2D metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) to finely regulate the local conformation and stacking interactions, which creates the optimal inter- and intralayer space to realize simultaneous improvement of adsorption thermodynamics and kinetics. Two new hydrolytically stable MOFs, ZUL-330 and ZUL-430, were prepared, and diverse experiments and modeling on both adsorption equilibrium and diffusion were performed. Record separation selectivities coupled with extraordinary dynamic C2H2 capacities were achieved for C2H2/CO2 mixtures with different proportions (50/50 or 10/5, v/v), along with a small diffusion barrier and fast mass transfer. Consequently, polymer-grade (99.9%) and electronic-grade (99.99%) C2H2 were obtained with excellent productivities of up to ∼6 mmol cm-3.

Abstract
A molecular porous material, MPM-2, comprised of cationic [Ni2 (AlF6 )(pzH)8 (H2 O)2 ] and anionic [Ni2 Al2 F11 (pzH)8 (H2 O)2 ] complexes that generate a charge-assisted hydrogen-bonded network with pcu topology is reported. The packing in MPM-2 is sustained by multiple interionic hydrogen bonding interactions that afford ultramicroporous channels between dense layers of anionic units. MPM-2 is found to exhibit excellent stability in water (>1 year). Unlike most hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks which typically show poor stability in organic solvents, MPM-2 exhibited excellent stability with respect to various organic solvents for at least two days. MPM-2 is found to be permanently porous with gas sorption isotherms at 298 K revealing a strong affinity for C2 H2 over CO2 thanks to a high (ΔQst )AC [Qst (C2 H2 ) - Qst (CO2 )] of 13.7 kJ mol-1 at low coverage. Dynamic column breakthrough experiments on MPM-2 demonstrated the separation of C2 H2 from a 1:1 C2 H2 /CO2 mixture at 298 K with effluent CO2 purity of 99.995% and C2 H2 purity of >95% after temperature-programmed desorption. C-H···F interactions between C2 H2 molecules and F atoms of AlF6 3- are found to enable high selectivity toward C2 H2 , as determined by density functional theory simulations.

Abstract
Efficient separation of acetylene (C2 H2 )/ethylene (C2 H4 ) and acetylene/carbon dioxide (CO2 ) by adsorption is an industrially promising process, but adsorbents capable of simultaneously capturing trace acetylene from ethylene and carbon dioxide are scarce. Herein, a gate-opening effect on three isomorphous flexible metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) named Co(4-DPDS)2 MO4 (M = Cr, Mo, W; 4-DPDS = 4,4-dipyridyldisulfide) is modulated by anion pillars substitution. The shortest CrO4 2- strengthens intraframework hydrogen bonding and thus blocks structural transformation after activation, striking a good balance among working capacity, separation selectivity, and trace impurity removal of flexible MOFs out of nearly C2 H2 /C2 H4 and C2 H2 /CO2 molecular sieving. The exceptional separation performance of Co(4-DPDS)2 CrO4 is confirmed by dynamic breakthrough experiments. It reveals the specific threshold pressures control in anion-pillared flexible materials enabled elimination of the impurity leakage to realize high purity products through precise control of the intraframework interaction. The adsorption mechanism and multimode structural transformation property are revealed by both calculations and crystallography studies. This work demonstrates the feasibility of modulating flexibility for controlling gate-opening effect, especially for some cases of significant aperture shrinkage after activation.

Abstract
Light olefins are important raw materials in the petrochemical industry for the production of many chemical products. In the past few years, remarkable progress has been made in the synthesis of light olefins (C2-C4) from methanol or syngas. The separation of light olefins by porous materials is, therefore, an intriguing research topic. In this work, single-component ethylene (C2H4) and propylene (C3H6) gas adsorption and binary C3H6/C2H4 (1:9) gas breakthrough experiments have been performed for three highly porous isostructural metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) denoted as Fe2M-L (M = Mn2+, Co2+, or Ni2+), three representative MOFs, namely ZIF-8 (also known as MAF-4), MIL-101(Cr), and HKUST-1, as well as an activated carbon (activated coconut charcoal, SUPELCO©). Single-component gas adsorption studies reveal that Fe2M-L, HKUST-1, and activated carbon show much higher C3H6 adsorption capacities than MIL-101(Cr) and ZIF-8, HKUST-1 and activated carbon have relatively high C3H6/C2H4 adsorption selectivity, and the C2H4 and C3H6 adsorption heats of Fe2Mn-L, MIL-101(Cr), and ZIF-8 are relatively low. Binary gas breakthrough experiments indicate all the adsorbents selectively adsorb C3H6 from C3H6/C2H4 mixture to produce purified C2H4, and 842, 515, 504, 271, and 181 cm3 g-1 C2H4 could be obtained for each breakthrough tests for HKUST-1, activated carbon, Fe2Mn-L, MIL-101(Cr), and ZIF-8, respectively. It is worth noting that C3H6 and C2H4 desorption dynamics of Fe2Mn-L are clearly faster than that of HKUST-1 or activated carbon, suggesting that Fe2M-L are promising adsorbents for C3H6/C2H4 separation with low energy penalty in regeneration.

Abstract
Selective paraffin capture from olefin/paraffin mixtures could afford high-purity olefins directly, but suffers from the issues of low separation selectivity and olefin productivity. Herein, we report an ultramicroporous material (PCP-IPA) with parallel-aligned linearly extending isophthalic acid units along the one-dimensional channel, realizing the efficient production of ultra-high purity C2H4 and C3H6 (99.99%). The periodically expanded and parallel-aligned aromatic-based units served as a paraffin nano-trap to contact with the exposed hydrogen atoms of both C2H6 and C3H8, as demonstrated by the simulation studies. PCP-IPA exhibits record separation selectivity of 2.48 and separation potential of 1.20 mol/L for C3H8/C3H6 (50/50) mixture, meanwhile the excellent C2H6/C2H4 mixture separation performance. Ultra-high purity C3H6 (99.99%) and C2H4 (99.99%) can be directly obtained through fixed-bed column from C3H8/C3H6 and C2H6/C2H4 mixtures, respectively. The record C3H6 productivity is up to 15.23 L/kg from the equimolar of C3H8/C3H6, which is 3.85 times of the previous benchmark material, demonstrating its great potential for those important industrial separations.

Abstract
Developing efficient adsorbent materials towards energy gas purification, e.g. CO2 removal from natural gas or hydrocarbon separation, is an important but extremely challenging task. Herein, taking advantage of a cationic bipyridinium ligand in competition with a multicarboxylate ligand for binding with metal ions, a porous material with open carboxylate oxygen atoms exposed on the pore surface has been demonstrated as an efficient adsorbent for gas separation. The polar environment arising from the cationic pyridinium moiety and the negative carboxylate group endows the title compound with selective affinity to CO2 over CH4. Moreover, the rich open O donor sites on the channel surface enable the resultant coordination polymer to selectively adsorb C2H2 over C2H4 through H-bonding interactions. The separation mechanism has been revealed by theoretical studies. This work provides a specific guidance for the design of applicable porous materials toward energy resource purification.

Abstract
Developing efficient CO 2 adsorbent materials and technologies is significant to reduce the increasing greenhouse gases concentration in the atmosphere. Herein, a layered MOF with a porous kagomé lattice (kgm), which owned three phases (kgm-1, kgm-2, and kgm-3) via interlayer expansion, was evaluated as a promising CO 2 capture and separation material by using grand canonical Monte Carlo simulations. Results showed that the interlayer expansion provided additional pore volume, which played a considerable role in CO 2 adsorption and separation. The CO 2 adsorption capacity and CO 2 /N 2 selectivity followed the sequence kgm-3 > kgm-2 > kgm-1, and kgm-3 exhibited an excellent CO 2 adsorption capacity of 8.7 mmol g -1 at 1 bar with a CO 2 /N 2 selectivity of 130.3 at 20 bar and 298 K. Gas distribution analysis showed that CO 2 and N 2 are adsorbed only in the channels in kgm-1, whereas they could be adsorbed between layers in kgm-2 and kgm-3 due to the interlayer expansion. The adsorption heat and interactions between CO 2 and frameworks were analyzed to elucidate the effect of interlayer expansion. Results of this work highlighted that appropriate interlayer expansion can be an effective approach for framework adsorbents to improve CO 2 capture ability and separation performance at the same time.

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
In this work, we report a new methodology for nonadiabatic molecular dynamics calculations within the extended tight-binding (xTB) framework. We demonstrate the applicability of the developed approach to finite and periodic systems with thousands of atoms by modeling "hot" electron relaxation dynamics in silicon nanocrystals and electron-hole recombination in both a graphitic carbon nitride monolayer and a titanium-based metal-organic framework (MOF). This work reports the nonadiabatic dynamic simulations in the largest Si nanocrystals studied so far by the xTB framework, with diameters up to 3.5 nm. For silicon nanocrystals, we find a non-monotonic dependence of "hot" electron relaxation rates on the nanocrystal size, in agreement with available experimental reports. We rationalize this relationship by a combination of decreasing nonadiabatic couplings related to system size and the increase of available coherent transfer pathways in systems with higher densities of states. We emphasize the importance of proper treatment of coherences for obtaining such non-monotonic dependences. We characterize the electron-hole recombination dynamics in the graphitic carbon nitride monolayer and the Ti-containing MOF. We demonstrate the importance of spin-adaptation and proper sampling of surface hopping trajectories in modeling such processes. We also assess several trajectory surface hopping schemes and highlight their distinct qualitative behavior in modeling the excited-state dynamics in superexchange-like models depending on how they handle coherences between nearly parallel states.

Abstract
One-step separation of C2H4 from ternary C2H2/C2H4/C2H6 hydrocarbon mixtures is of great significance in the industry but is challenging due to the similar sizes and physical properties of C2H2, C2H4, and C2H6. Here, we report an anion-pillared hybrid ultramicroporous material, CuTiF6-TPPY, that has the ability of selective recognition of C2H4 over C2H2 and C2H6. The 4,6-connected fsc framework of CuTiF6-TPPY exhibits semi-cage-like one-dimensional channels sustained by porphyrin rings and TiF62- pillars, which demonstrates the noticeably enhanced adsorption of C2H2 and C2H6 over C2H4. Dynamic breakthrough experiments confirm the direct and facile high-purity C2H4 (>99.9%) production from a ternary gas mixture of C2H2/C2H6/C2H4 (1/9/90, v/v/v) under ambient conditions. Computational studies and in situ infrared reveal that the porphyrin moieties with large π-surfaces form multiple van der Waals interactions with C2H6; meanwhile, the polar TiF62- pillars form C-H•••F hydrogen bonding with C2H2. In contrast, the recognition sites for C2H4 in the framework are less marked.

Abstract
Refineries generally employ multiple energy-intensive distillation/adsorption columns to separate and purify complicated chemical mixtures. Materials such as multi-functional molecular separators integrating various modules capable of separating molecules according to their shape and chemical properties simultaneously may represent an alternative. Herein, we address this challenge in the context of one-step removal of alkynes and propadiene from cracking gases (up to 10 components) using a multi-functional and responsive material ZU-33 through a guest/temperature dual-response regulation strategy. The responsive and guest-adaptive properties of ZU-33 provide the optimized binding energy for alkynes and propadiene, and avoid the competitive adsorption of olefins and paraffins, which is verified by breakthrough tests, single-crystal X-ray diffraction experiments, and simulation studies. The responsive properties to different stimuli endow materials with multiple regulation methods and broaden the boundaries of the applicability of porous materials to challenging separations. Separating mixtures of hydrocarbons of low molecular weight is desirable but challenging. Here, the authors report a porous material with responsive and self-adaptive properties that enables one-step removal of alkynes and propadiene from cracking gases.

Abstract
Adsorptive separation of xenon (Xe) and krypton (Kr) is a promising technique but remains a daunting challenge since they are atomic gases without dipole or quadruple moments. Herein we report a strategy for fabricating angular anion-pillared materials featuring shell-like Xe nano-traps, which provide a cooperative effect conferred by the pore confinement and multiple specific interactions. The perfect permanent pore channel (4-5 Å) of Ni(4-DPDS)2 MO4 (M=Cr, Mo, W) can host Xe atoms efficiently even at ultra-low concentration (400 ppm Xe), showing the second-highest selectivity of 30.2 in Ni(4-DPDS)2 WO4 and excellent Xe adsorption capacity in Ni(4-DPDS)2 CrO4 (15.0 mmol kg-1 ). Crystallography studies and DFT-D calculations revealed the energy favorable binding sites and angular anions enable the synergism between optimal pore size and polar porosity for boosting Xe affinity. Dynamic breakthrough experiments demonstrated three MOFs as efficient adsorbents for Xe/Kr separation.

Abstract
The separation of C2H2/CO2 is not only industrially important for acetylene purification but also scientifically challenging owing to their high similarities in physical properties and molecular sizes. Ultramicroporous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) can exhibit a pore confinement effect to differentiate gas molecules of similar size. Herein, we report the fine-tuning of pore sizes in sub-nanometer scale on a series of isoreticular MOFs that can realize highly efficient C2H2/CO2 separation. The subtle structural differences lead to remarkable adsorption performances enhancement. Among four MOF analogs, by integrating appropriate pore size and specific binding sites, [Cu(dps)2(SiF6)] (SIFSIX-dps-Cu, SIFSIX = SiF62-, dps = 4.4'-dipyridylsulfide, also termed as NCU-100) exhibits the highest C2H2 uptake capacity and C2H2/CO2 selectivity. At room temperature, the pore space of SIFSIX-dps-Cu significantly inhibits CO2 molecules but takes up a large amount of C2H2 (4.57 mmol g-1), resulting in a high IAST selectivity of 1787 for C2H2/CO2 separation. The multiple host-guest interactions for C2H2 in both inter- and intralayer cavities are further revealed by dispersion-corrected density functional theory and grand canonical Monte Carlo simulations. Dynamic breakthrough experiments show a clean C2H2/CO2 separation with a high C2H2 working capacity of 2.48 mmol g-1.

Abstract
Ethylene (C2H4) is one of the most significant substances in the petrochemical industry; however, the capture of acetylene (C2H2) in about 1% from C2H2/C2H4 mixtures is a difficult task because of the similarity of their physical properties. With the aggravation of the energy crisis, using metal-organic framework (MOF) materials to purify C2H4 through adsorptive separation is a promising way to save energy and reduce emission. Pore-space partition (PSP) with the aim of enhancing the density of the binding sites and the strength of the host-guest interactions is an effective means to promote a solution for the challenging gas separation problems. Herein, we report a new embedding metal-carboxylate chain-induced topology upgrade strategy within a MOF to realize PSP and separation of C2H2/C2H4 mixtures. As a proof of concept, we construct a microporous MOF (NUM-12) utilizing the in situ insertion of cobalt terephthalic chains into a pretargeted ant-type framework during synthesis. Because of the attainment of an elaborately tuned aperture size and a specific pore environment through this strategy, NUM-12a (activated NUM-12) not only has a remarkable gas sorption capacity and strong interactions for C2H2 but also possesses an excellent purification performance for C2H2/C2H4 mixtures. Both experiments and simulation calculations clearly reveal that NUM-12 is a promising candidate for the separation of C2H2/C2H4, proving the feasibility of this new strategy for developing newly fashioned MOFs with adjustable structure and performance.

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
Background Hypoxia is a characteristic of solid tumors that can lead to tumor angiogenesis and early metastasis, and addressing hypoxia presents tremendous challenges. In this work, a nanomedicine based on oxygen-absorbing perfluorotributylamine (PFA) and the bioreductive prodrug tirapazamine (TPZ) was prepared by using a polydopamine (PDA)-coated UiO-66 metal organic framework (MOF) as the drug carrier. Results The results showed that TPZ/PFA@UiO-66@PDA nanoparticles significantly enhanced hypoxia, induced cell apoptosis in vitro through the oxygen-dependent HIF-1α pathway and decreased oxygen levels in vivo after intratumoral injection. In addition, our study demonstrated that TPZ/PFA@UiO-66@PDA nanoparticles can accumulate in the tumor region after tail vein injection and effectively inhibit tumor growth when combined with photothermal therapy (PTT). TPZ/PFA@UiO-66@PDA nanoparticles increased HIF-1α expression while did not promote the expression of CD31 in vivo during the experiment. Conclusions By using TPZ and PFA and the enhanced permeability and retention effect of nanoparticles, TPZ/PFA@UiO-66@PDA can target tumor tissues, enhance hypoxia in the tumor microenvironment, and activate TPZ. Combined with PTT, the growth of osteosarcoma xenografts can be effectively inhibited. Graphic abstract ![]()

Abstract
Presented here is the light hydrocarbon separation of titanium metal-organic frameworks (Ti-MOFs). Compared with the cyclic Ti-oxo cluster (Ti8O8(CO2)16, Ti8Ph), porous structures of FIR-125 and FIR-126 (FIR = Fujian Institute Research) can effectively improve the adsorption amounts of light hydrocarbons. The introduction of different functional groups and Ti-oxo clusters with small window sizes enables them to exhibit the highly selective separation of C2 and C3 hydrocarbons versus methane in an ambient atmosphere. The results show that Ti-MOFs are potential porous adsorbents for the separation of light hydrocarbons.

Abstract
Structural changes at the active site of an enzyme induced by binding to a substrate molecule can result in enhanced activity in biological systems. Herein, we report that the new hybrid ultramicroporous material sql-SIFSIX-bpe-Zn exhibits an induced fit binding mechanism when exposed to acetylene, C2 H2 . The resulting phase change affords exceptionally strong C2 H2 binding that in turn enables highly selective C2 H2 /C2 H4 and C2 H2 /CO2 separation demonstrated by dynamic breakthrough experiments. sql-SIFSIX-bpe-Zn was observed to exhibit at least four phases: as-synthesised (α); activated (β); and C2 H2 induced phases (β' and γ). sql-SIFSIX-bpe-Zn-β exhibited strong affinity for C2 H2 at ambient conditions as demonstrated by benchmark isosteric heat of adsorption (Qst ) of 67.5 kJ mol-1 validated through in situ pressure gradient differential scanning calorimetry (PG-DSC). Further, in situ characterisation and DFT calculations provide insight into the mechanism of the C2 H2 induced fit transformation, binding positions and the nature of host-guest and guest-guest interactions.

Abstract
The last 20 years has seen an explosion in the number of publications investigating porous solids for gas adsorption and separation. The combination of external drivers such as anthropogenic climate change and industrial efficiency has been coupled with discovery of new materials such as synthetic zeolites, metal-organic frameworks, covalent organic frameworks, and non-porous adsorbents. Numerous reviews catalogue these materials and their properties. However, the field lacks a unifying resource to visually compare and analyse materials properties with regard to their utility as a scientific advance and potential for industrial use. In the related field of membrane science, the 'Robeson upper bound' empirically describes the trade-off between gas permeability and selectivity and has become a ubiquitous tool for comparing membrane materials. In this article, we propose upper and lower bounds that empirically correlate the trade-offs encountered when designing adsorbent materials for gas separation, specifically: capacity, selectivity, and heat of adsorption. We apply bound visualizations to adsorbents studied for light alkene/alkane separations and highlight their use in identifying candidate materials for examination within process models and for guiding insights to the most effective materials design strategies. Furthermore, we note the limitations of upper and lower bound visualizations and provide links to a database resource for researchers to produce and download bound visualization plots. We anticipate that introducing bound visualizations to the field of adsorbents for gas separations will allow researchers to provide context for the importance of new materials discoveries, understand trade-offs in adsorbent design, and connect process engineers with candidate materials.

ACS OMEGA 2021; 6:15499-15513.

Abstract
Microporous crystalline adsorbents such as zeolites and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have potential use in a wide variety of separation applications. The adsorption selectivity S ads is a key metric that quantifies the efficacy of any microporous adsorbent in mixture separations. The Ideal Adsorbed Solution Theory (IAST) is commonly used for estimating the value of S ads, with unary isotherms of the constituent guests as data inputs. There are two basic tenets underlying the development of the IAST. The first tenet mandates a homogeneous distribution of adsorbates within the pore landscape. The second tenet requires the surface area occupied by a guest molecule in the mixture to be the same as that for the corresponding pure component. Configurational-bias Monte Carlo (CBMC) simulations are employed in this article to highlight several scenarios in which the IAST fails to provide a quantitatively correct description of mixture adsorption equilibrium due to a failure to conform to either of the two tenets underpinning the IAST. For CO2 capture with cation-exchanged zeolites and MOFs with open metal sites, there is congregation of CO2 around the cations and unsaturated metal atoms, resulting in failure of the IAST due to an inhomogeneous distribution of adsorbates in the pore space. Thermodynamic non-idealities also arise due to the preferential location of CO2 molecules at the window regions of 8-ring zeolites such as DDR and CHA or within pockets of MOR and AFX zeolites. Thermodynamic non-idealities are evidenced for water/alcohol mixtures due to molecular clustering engendered by hydrogen bonding. It is also demonstrated that thermodynamic non-idealities can be strong enough to cause selectivity reversals, which are not anticipated by the IAST.
