[PMID: 39397830 PMCID: PMC11465132 DOI: 10.1039/d4sc03029j] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/08/2024] [Accepted: 09/26/2024] [Indexed: 10/15/2024] Open
Abstract
Hybrid ultramicroporous materials (HUMs) comprised of combinations of organic and inorganic linker ligands are a leading class of physisorbents for trace separations involving C1, C2 and C3 gases. First generation HUMs are modular in nature since they can be self-assembled from transition metal cations, ditopic linkers and inorganic "pillars", as exemplified by the prototypal variant, SIFSIX-3-Zn (3 = pyrazine, SIFSIX = SiF6 2-). Conversely, HUMs that utilise chelating ligands such as ethylenediamine derivatives are yet to be explored as sorbents. Herein, we report the structures and sorption properties of two HUMs based upon the chelating ligand N 1,N 2-bis(pyridin-4-ylmethyl)ethane-1,2-diamine (enmepy), [Zn(enmepy)(SiF6)] n (SIFSIX-24-Zn) and [Zn(enmepy)(SO4)] n (SOFOUR-2-Zn). These HUMs are isostructural and exhibit high C2H2 uptakes of 85 cm3 g-1 (3.79 mmol g-1) and 79 cm3 g-1 (3.52 mmol g-1), and C2H2/CO2 IAST selectivities of 7.4 and 8.1 (1 bar, 1 : 1 mixture, 298 K), respectively. Dynamic column breakthrough experiments resulted in separation factors of 5.26 and 2.05, and CO2 effluent purities of 99.991 and 99.989%, respectively. Temperature programmed desorption experiments at 60 °C resulted in rapid desorption of CO2, followed by fuel grade C2H2 (>98%), affording productivities of 9.45 and 7.96 L kg-1 and maximum C2H2 outlet purities of 99.92% and 99.66%, respectively. This study introduces the use of diamine chelating ligands in HUMs for gas separations through two parent sorbents that are prototypal for families of related materials, one of which, SOFOUR-2-Zn, uses the earth-friendly sulfate anion as a pillar.

Abstract
Molecular sieving is an ideal separation mechanism, but controlling pore size, restricting framework flexibility, and avoiding strong adsorption are all very challenging. Here, we report a flexible adsorbent showing molecular sieving at ambient temperature and high pressure, even under high humidity. While typical guest-induced transformations are observed, a high transition pressure of 16.6 atm is observed for C2H4 at 298 K because of very weak C2H4 adsorption (~16 kJ mol-1). Also, C2H6 is completely excluded below the pore-opening pressure of 7.7 atm, giving single-component selectivity of ca. 300. Quantitative high-pressure column breakthrough experiments using 1 : 1 C2H4/C2H6 mixtures at 10 atm as input confirm molecular sieving with C2H4 adsorption of 0.73 mmol g-1 or 32 cm3(STP) cm-3 and negligible C2H6 adsorption of 0.001(2) mmol g-1, and the adsorbent can be completely regenerated by inert gas purging. Furthermore, it is highly hydrophobic with negligible water adsorption, and the C2H4/C2H6 separation performance is unaffected at high humidity.

Abstract
Developing high-performance porous materials to separate ethane from ethylene is an important but challenging task in the chemical industry, given their similar sizes and physicochemical properties. Herein, a new type of ultra-strong C2H6 nano-trap, CuIn(3-ain)4 is presented, which utilizes multiple guest-host interactions to efficiently capture C2H6 molecules and separate mixtures of C2H6 and C2H4. The ultra-strong C2H6 nano-trap exhibits the high C2H6 (2.38 mmol g-1) uptake at 6.25 kPa and 298 K and demonstrates a remarkable selectivity of 3.42 for C2H6/C2H4 (10:90). Additionally, equimolar C2H6/C2H4 exhibited a superior high separation potential ∆Q (2286 mmol L-1) at 298 K. Kinetic adsorption tests demonstrated that CuIn(3-ain)4 has a high adsorption rate for C2H6, establishing it as a new benchmark material for the capture of C2H6 and the separation of C2H6/C2H4. Notably, this exceptional performance is maintained even at a higher temperature of 333 K, a phenomenon not observed before. Theoretical simulations and single-crystal X-ray diffraction provide critical insights into how selective adsorption properties can be tuned by manipulating pore dimensions and geometry. The excellent separation performance of CuIn(3-ain)4 has been confirmed through breakthrough experiments for C2H6/C2H4 gas mixtures.

Abstract
An interpenetrated indium(III) metal-organic framework (MOF), NTUniv-73, with a rarely reported tetrameric indium cluster is developed for streamlining ethylene purification from C2 gases. At 298 K, the adsorption capacities exhibited a complete reversal sequence of C2H6 > C2H2 > C2H4. Grand canonical Monte Carlo simulation indicated that the corners in a octahedral cage facilitated the C2H2/C2H4 separation, while the pocket-like aperture situated between adjacent octahedral cages allows for full contact of C2H6. Breakthrough experiments illustrated that NTUniv-73 could yield pure C2H4 in a single step with a productivity of 0.42 mmol g-1.

Abstract
The single-step purification of ethylene (C2H4) from a mixture of carbon dioxide (CO2), acetylene (C2H2), ethylene (C2H4), and ethane (C2H6) was achieved through MOF Compound-1, where the aromatic pore surface and carboxylates selectively recognized C2H6 and CO2, respectively, resulting in a reversal of the adsorption orders for both gases (C2H6 > C2H4 and CO2 > C2H4). Breakthrough testing verified that the C2H4 purification ability could be enhanced 2.6 times after adding impure CO2. Grand Canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) simulations demonstrate that there are interactions between CO2 and C2H6 molecules as well as between CO2 molecules themselves. These interactions contribute to the enhancement of the C2H4 purification ability upon the addition of CO2 and the increased adsorption of CO2.

Abstract
The strategy of flow channel with wrinkles and calcium sites for single-step C2H4 purification from C2 gases and methanol-to-olefins (MTO) products separation was realized in FJI-Y9. The adsorption amounts showed a total reversal order of C3H6 > C2H6 > C2H2 > C2H4 at 298 K. Modeling indicated that the wrinkles and Ca2+ facilitated the full contact of C3H6 and C2H6. Breakthrough experiments illustrated that FJI-Y9 could yield pure C2H4 in a single step with a productivity of 0.78 mmol g-1. In a lone adsorption/desorption cycle for MTO product separation, the productivities of C3H6 and C2H4 were 1.96 and 1.29 mol g-1, standing as the highest recorded values.

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
Separating ethane (C2H6) from ethylene (C2H4) is an essential and energy-intensive process in the chemical industry. Here, we report two flexible diamondoid coordination networks, X-dia-1-Ni and X-dia-1-Ni0.89Co0.11, that exhibit gate-opening between narrow-pore (NP) and large-pore (LP) phases for C2H6, but not for C2H4. X-dia-1-Ni0.89Co0.11 thereby exhibited a type F-IV isotherm at 273 K with no C2H6 uptake and a high uptake (111 cm3 g-1, 1 atm) for the NP and LP phases, respectively. Conversely, the LP phase exhibited a low uptake of C2H4 (12.2 cm3 g-1). This C2H6/C2H4 uptake ratio of 9.1 for X-dia-1-Ni0.89Co0.11 far surpassed those of previously reported physisorbents, many of which are C2H4-selective. In situ variable-pressure X-ray diffraction and modeling studies provided insight into the abrupt C2H6-induced structural NP to LP transformation. The promise of pure gas isotherms and, more generally, flexible coordination networks for gas separations was validated by dynamic breakthrough studies, which afforded high-purity (99.9%) C2H4 in one step.

Abstract
Hybrid ultramicroporous materials (HUMs), metal-organic platforms that incorporate inorganic pillars, are a promising class of porous solids. A key area of interest for such materials is gas separation, where HUMs have already established benchmark performances. Thanks to their ready compositional modularity, we report the design and synthesis of a new HUM, GEFSIX-21-Cu, incorporating the ligand pypz (4-(3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)pyridine, 21) and GeF62- pillaring anions. GEFSIX-21-Cu delivers on two fronts: first, it displays an exceptionally high C2H2 adsorption capacity (≥5 mmol g-1) which is paired with low uptake of CO2 (<2 mmol g-1), and, second, a low enthalpy of adsorption for C2H2 (ca. 32 kJ mol-1). This combination is rarely seen in the C2H2 selective physisorbents reported thus far, and not observed in related isostructural HUMs featuring pypz and other pillaring anions. Dynamic column breakthrough experiments for 1:1 and 2:1 C2H2/CO2 mixtures revealed GEFSIX-21-Cu to selectively separate C2H2 from CO2, yielding ≥99.99% CO2 effluent purities. Temperature-programmed desorption experiments revealed full sorbent regeneration in <35 min at 60 °C, reinforcing HUMs as potentially technologically relevant materials for strategic gas separations.

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.

Abstract
Single-step ethylene (C2H4) production from acetylene (C2H2), ethylene (C2H4), and ethane (C2H6) mixtures was realized via the strategy of a flow channel with recognition corners in MOF NTUniv-64. Both the uptake amounts and the enthalpy of adsorption (Qst) showed the same order of C2H2 > C2H6 > C2H4. Breakthrough testing also verified the above data and the C2H4 purification ability. Grand Canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) simulations indicated that uneven corners could precisely detain C2H2 and C2H6, in which the C-H···π interaction distance between C2H2 (2.84 Å) and C2H6 (3.03 Å) and the framework was shorter than that of C2H4 (3.85 Å).

Abstract
One-step C2H4 purification from a mixture of C2H2/C2H4/C2H6 could be achieved by metal-organic framework (MOF) NTUniv-70 with an F-functional group. The selectivities of C2H4/C2H6 and C2H4/C2H2 of NTUnvi-70 based on ideal adsorbed solution theory were at least twice that of the original MOF platform, which was in line with the enthalpy of adsorption (Qst) and breakthrough testing. Grand canonical Monte Carlo simulations indicated that the C-H···F interactions played an important role in enhanced C2H4/C2H6 and C2H4/C2H2 adsorption selectivities.

Abstract
Propane (C3H8) is a widely used fuel gas. Metal-organic framework (MOF) physisorbents that are C3H8 selective offer the potential to significantly reduce the energy footprint for capturing C3H8 from natural gas, where C3H8 is typically present as a minor component. Here we report the C3H8 recovery performance of a previously unreported lonsdaleite, lon, topology MOF, a chiral metal-organic material, [Ni(S-IEDC)(bipy)(SCN)]n, CMOM-7. CMOM-7 was prepared from three low-cost precursors: Ni(SCN)2, S-indoline-2-carboxylic acid (S-IDECH), and 4,4'-bipyridine (bipy), and its structure was determined by single crystal X-ray crystallography. Pure gas adsorption isotherms revealed that CMOM-7 exhibited high C3H8 uptake (2.71 mmol g-1) at 0.05 bar, an indication of a higher affinity for C3H8 than both C2H6 and CH4. Dynamic column breakthrough experiments afforded high purity C3H8 capture from a gas mixture comprising C3H8/C2H6/CH4 (v/v/v = 5/10/85). Despite the dilute C3H8 stream, CMOM-7 registered a high dynamic uptake of C3H8 and a breakthrough time difference between C3H8 and C2H6 of 79.5 min g-1, superior to those of previous MOF physisorbents studied under the same flow rate. Analysis of crystallographic data and Grand Canonical Monte Carlo simulations provides insight into the two C3H8 binding sites in CMOM-7, both of which are driven by C-H···π and hydrogen bonding interactions.

Abstract
Purification of ethylene (C2H4) is an essential and energy-intensive process in the petrochemical industry. Adsorption separation using ethane (C2H6)-selective porous adsorbents is a highly efficient and straightforward method for obtaining polymer-grade C2H4 from a binary C2H6/C2H4 mixture. However, the design and construction of C2H6-selective adsorbents are very challenging tasks. Herein, we demonstrate a microporous heterometal-organic framework, CuIn(ina)4, can preferentially enrich C2H6 than C2H4. Experimental results revealed that CuIn(ina)4 exhibited remarkable separation performance for the C2H6/C2H4 mixture with a high C2H6 loading capacity (3.3 mmol/g), high IAST selectivity (2.3) and separation potential (1578 mmol/L for equimolar C2H6/C2H4 mixture) under ambient conditions. The effectiveness of CuIn(ina)4 for C2H6/C2H4 adsorption separation was confirmed by theoretical calculations and breakthrough experiments.

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.

Abstract
Separating acetylene (C2H2) from other light hydrocarbons and carbon dioxide (CO2) mixtures under mild conditions poses significant challenges due to the remarkably similar properties between C2H2 and those gases. For the goal of C2H2 separation, a F-functionalized organic linker, H2F-PyIP = 2-fluorine-5-(4-pyridyl)isophthalic acid, was designed, and the corresponding metal-organic framework (MOF), {[Co2(F-PyIP)2DMF]·4H2O}n (1), was constructed. The MOF with open channels decorated by the active sites of the F groups revealed the exceptional C2H2 uptake and selectivity over CO2, C2H4, and CH4. The breakthrough experiments with different molar ratios of C2H2-C2H4, C2H2-CO2, and other gas mixtures further verified superior separation capacity of the MOF. In particular, the dynamic separation time intervals for gas mixtures (C2H2/CO2 = 1:1, 1:5, 1:10, and 1:20) fell in the range 30-44 min, highlighting the potential of the MOF for tackling the challenging C2H2/CO2 separation process.

Herein, a metal-organic framework (MOF), {[(Me2NH2)4][Cd(H2O)6][Cd18(TrZ)12(TPD)15(DMF)6]}n (denoted as JXNU-18, TrZ = triazolate), constructed from the unique cucurbituril-shaped Cd18(TrZ)12 secondary building units bridged by 2,5-thiophenedicarboxylic (TPD2-) ligands, is presented. The formation of the cucurbituril-shaped Cd18(TrZ)12 unit is unprecedented, demonstrating the geometric compatibility of the organic linkers and the coordination configurations of the cadmium atoms. Each Cd18(TrZ)12 unit is connected to eight neighboring Cd18(TrZ)12 units through 30 TPD2- linkers, affording the three-dimensional structure of JXNU-18. More interesting is that JXNU-18 displays an efficient C2H2/CO2 separation ability, as revealed by the gas adsorption experiments and dynamic gas breakthrough experiments, which afford insights into the potential applications of JXNU-18 in gas separation. The tubular pores composed of two Cd18(TrZ)12 units bridged by six 2,5-thiophenedicarboxylic linkers provide the suitable pore space for C2H2 trapping, as unveiled by computational simulations.

Abstract
One-step harvest of high-purity light hydrocarbons without the desorption process represents an advanced and highly efficient strategy for the purification of target substances. The separation and purification of acetylene (C2H2) from carbon dioxide (CO2) by CO2-selective adsorbents are urgently demanded yet are very challenging owing to their similar physicochemical properties. Here, we employ the pore chemistry strategy to adjust the pore environment by immobilizing polar groups into an ultramicroporous metal-organic framework (MOF), achieving one-step manufacture of high-purity C2H2 from CO2/C2H2 mixtures. Embedding methyl groups into prototype stable MOF (Zn-ox-trz) not only changes the pore environment but also improves the discrimination of guest molecules. The methyl-functionalized Zn-ox-mtz thus exhibits the benchmark reverse CO2/C2H2 uptake ratio of 12.6 (123.32/9.79 cm3 cm-3) and an exceptionally high equimolar CO2/C2H2 selectivity of 1064.9 at ambient conditions. Molecular simulations reveal that the synergetic effect of pore confinement and surfaces decorated with methyl groups provides high recognition of CO2 molecules through multiple van der Waals interactions. The column breakthrough experiments suggest that Zn-ox-mtz dramatically achieved the one-step purification capacity of C2H2 from the CO2/C2H2 mixture with a record C2H2 productivity of 2091 mmol kg-1, surpassing all of the CO2-selective adsorbents reported so far. In addition, Zn-ox-mtz exhibits excellent chemical stability under different pH values of aqueous solutions (pH = 1-12). Moreover, the highly stable framework and excellent inverse selective CO2/C2H2 separation performance showcase its promising application as a C2H2 splitter for industrial manufacture. This work paves the way to developing reverse-selective adsorbents for the challenging gas separation process.

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
In this work, we report the synthesis, structural characterisation and sorption properties of an 8-fold interpenetrated diamondoid (dia) metal-organic framework (MOF) that is sustained by a new extended linker ligand, [Cd(Imibz)2], X-dia-2-Cd, HImibz or 2 = 4-((4-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)phenylimino)methyl)benzoic acid. X-dia-2-Cd was found to exhibit reversible single-crystal-to-single-crystal (SC-SC) transformations between four distinct phases: an as-synthesised (from N,N-dimethylformamide) wide-pore phase, X-dia-2-Cd-α; a narrow-pore phase, X-dia-2-Cd-β, formed upon exposure to water; a narrow-pore phase obtained by activation, X-dia-2-Cd-γ; a medium-pore CO2-loaded phase X-dia-2-Cd-δ. While the space group remained constant in the four phases, the cell volumes and calculated void space ranged from 4988.7 Å3 and 47% (X-dia-2-Cd-α), respectively, to 3200.8 Å3 and 9.1% (X-dia-2-Cd-γ), respectively. X-dia-2-Cd-γ also exhibited a water vapour-induced structural transformation to the water-loaded X-dia-2-Cd-β phase, resulting in an S-shaped sorption isotherm. The inflection point occurred at 18% RH with negligible hysteresis on the desorption profile. Water vapour temperature-humidity swing cycling (60% RH, 300 K to 0% RH, 333 K) indicated hydrolytic stability of X-dia-2-Cd and working capacity was retained after 128 cycles of sorbent regeneration. CO2 (at 195 K) was also observed to induce a structural transformation in X-dia-2-Cd-γ and in situ PXRD studies at 1 bar of CO2, 195 K revealed the formation of X-dia-2-Cd-δ, which exhibited 31% larger unit cell volume than X-dia-2-Cd-γ.

Highly Selective Separation of C2H2/CO2 and C2H2/C2H4 in an N-Rich Cage-Based Microporous Metal-Organic Framework. ADSORPT SCI TECHNOL 2023.

Abstract
The separation of acetylene (C2H2) from carbon dioxide (CO2) and the purification of ethylene (C2H4) from C2H2 are quite essential processes for the chemical industry. However, these processes are challenging due to their similar physical properties, including molecule sizes and boiling points. Herein, we report an N-rich cage-based microporous metal-organic framework (MOF), [Cd5(Tz)9](NO3) (termed as Cd-TZ, TZ stands for tetrazole), and its highly efficient separation of C2H2/CO2 and C2H2/C2H4. Single-component gas adsorption isotherms reveal that Cd-TZ exhibits high C2H2 adsorption capacity (3.10 mmol g-1 at 298 K and 1 bar). The N-rich cages in Cd-TZ can trap C2H2 with a higher isosteric heat of adsorption (40.8 kJ mol-1) than CO2 and C2H4 owing to the robust host-guest interactions between the noncoordinated N atoms and C2H2, which has been verified by molecular modeling studies. Cd-TZ shows a high IAST selectivity for C2H2/CO2 (8.3) and C2H2/C2H4 (13.3). The breakthrough simulations confirm the potential for separating C2H2/CO2 and the purification of C2H4 from C2H2.

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
Developing practical storage technologies for acetylene (C2 H2 ) is important but challenging because C2 H2 is useful but explosive. Here, a novel metal-organic framework (MOF) (FJI-H36) with adaptive channels was prepared. It can effectively capture C2 H2 (159.9 cm3 cm-3 ) at 1 atm and 298 K, possessing a record-high storage density (561 g L-1 ) but a very low adsorption enthalpy (28 kJ mol-1 ) among all the reported MOFs. Structural analyses show that such excellent adsorption performance comes from the synergism of active sites, flexible framework, and matched pores; where the adsorbed-C2 H2 can drive FJI-H36 to undergo induced-fit transformations step by step, including deformation/reconstruction of channels, contraction of pores, and transformation of active sites, finally leading to dense packing of C2 H2 . Moreover, FJI-H36 has excellent chemical stability and recyclability, and can be prepared on a large scale, enabling it as a practical adsorbent for C2 H2 . This will provide a useful strategy for developing practical and efficient adsorbents for C2 H2 storage.

Abstract
Construction of porous solid materials applied to the adsorptive removal of CO2 from C2 hydrocarbons is highly demanded thanks to the important role C2 hydrocarbons play in the chemical industry but quite challenging owing to the similar physical parameters between C2 hydrocarbons and CO2. In particular, the development of synthetic strategies to simultaneously enhance the uptake capacity and adsorption selectivity is very difficult due to the trade-off effect frequently existing between both of them. In this work, a combination of the dicopper paddlewheel unit and 4-pyridylisophthalate derivatives bearing different substituents afforded an isoreticular family of coordination framework compounds as a platform. Their adsorption properties toward C2 hydrocarbons and CO2 were systematically investigated, and subsequent IAST and density functional theory calculations combined with column breakthrough experiments verified their promising potential for C2/CO2 separations. Furthermore, the substituent engineering endowed the resulting compounds with simultaneous enhancement of uptake capacity and adsorption selectivity and thus better C2/CO2 separation performance compared to their parent compound. The substituent introduction not only mitigated the framework distortion via fixing the ligand conformation for establishment of better permanent porosity required for gas adsorption but also polarized the framework surface for host-guest interaction improvement, thus resulting in enhanced separation performance.

Abstract
It is well known that the introduction of exposed fluorine (F) sites into metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) can effectively promote acetylene (C2H2) adsorption via C-H⋯F hydrogen bonds. However, such super strong hydrogen bonding interactions usually lead to very high acetylene adsorption enthalpy and thus require more energy during the adsorbent regeneration process. As the same group elements, chlorine (Cl), bromine (Br) and iodine (I) also can act as hydrogen bond acceptors but with relatively weak forces. So, it is speculated that the decoration of Cl, Br or I sites on the pore surface of MOF adsorbents may enhance acetylene adsorption but with lower energy consumption. Herein, ultra-microporous MOFs constructed by Cu4X4 (X = Cl, Br, I) motifs and 1,2,4-triazolate linkers, namely, [Cu8X4(TRZ)4]n (TRZ = 3,5-diethyl-1,2,4-triazole or detrz for SNNU-313-X, and 3,5-dipropyl-1,2,4-triazole or dptrz for SNNU-314-X), provide an ideal platform to investigate the effect of C-H⋯X (X = Cl, Br, I) hydrogen bonding on C2H2 adsorption and purification performance. Benefiting from the small pore size and pore environment, the C2H2 uptake and separation properties of this series of MOFs are systematically regulated. Detailed gas adsorption results show that with the same organic linker, the C2H2 uptake and separation (C2H2/C2H4 and C2H2/CO2) performance decrease clearly with the electronegativity of halogen ions (SNNU-313-Cl > SNNU-313-Br > SNNU-313-I). With the same halogen ion, the gas adsorption decreases with the bulk of decorated alkyl groups (SNNU-313-Cl > SNNU-314-Cl). Remarkably, SNNU-313/314 series MOF adsorbents exhibit moderate C2H2 uptake capacity and high separation ability, but the C2H2 adsorption enthalpies are much lower than those of MOF materials with exposed F sites. Dynamic fixed-bed column breakthrough experiments and Grand Canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) simulations further indicate the critical effects of halogen hydrogen bonds on acetylene adsorption and separation. Overall, this work demonstrated an effective regulation of acetylene adsorption and separation by rational C-H⋯X hydrogen bonding, which may provide a new route for the exploration of energy-efficient acetylene adsorbent materials.

Abstract
Rational design of covalent organic frameworks (COFs) to broaden their diversity is highly desirable but challenging due to the limited, expensive, and complex building blocks, especially compared with other easily available porous materials. In this work, we fabricated two novel bioinspired COFs, namely, NUS-71 and NUS-72, using reticular chemistry with ellagic acid and triboronic acid-based building blocks. Both COFs with AB stacking mode exhibit high acetylene (C2H2) adsorption capacity and excellent separation performance for C2H2/CO2 mixtures, which is significant but rarely explored using COFs. The impressive affinities for C2H2 appear to be related to the sandwich structure formed by C2H2 and the host framework via multiple host-guest interactions. This work not only represents a new avenue for the construction of low-cost COFs but also expands the variety of the COF family using natural biochemicals as building blocks for broad application.

Abstract
The behavior of coordination polymers (CPs) against external stimuli has witnessed remarkable attention, especially when the resulting CPs present reversible molecular arrays. Accordingly, CPs with these characteristics can lead to differences in their properties owing to these structural differences, being promising for their use as potential molecular switches with diverse applications. Herein, we have synthesized four Zn(II) CPs bearing α-acetamidocinnamic acid (HACA) and 4,4'-bipyridine (4,4'-bipy). The reaction between Zn(OAc)2·2H2O, HACA, and 4,4'-bipy yields {[Zn(ACA)2(4,4'-bipy)]·EtOH} n (1), which was used for the formation of three CPs through dissolution-recrystallization structural transformations (DRSTs): {[Zn(ACA)2(4,4'-bipy)]·2MeOH} n (2), {[Zn2(μ-ACA)2(ACA)2(4,4'-bipy)]·2H2O} n (3), and {[Zn3(μ-ACA)6(4,4'-bipy)]·0.75CHCl3} n (4). The study of the four crystal structures revealed that their secondary building units (SBUs) comprise monomeric, dimeric, and trimeric arrangements linked by 4,4'-bipy ligands. The fundamental role of the utilized solvent and/or temperature, as well as their effect on the orientation of the amide moieties driving the formation of the different SBUs is discussed. Furthermore, the reversibility and interconversion between the four CPs have been assayed. Finally, their solid-state photoluminescence has evinced that the effect of the amide moieties not only predetermine a different SBU but also lead to a different emission in 4 compared with 1-3.

Abstract
For pure acetylene manufacturing and natural gas purification, the development of porous materials displaying highly selective C2H2/CH4 and CO2/CH4 separation is greatly important but remains a major challenge. In this work, a plausible strategy involving solvent-induced effects and using the flexibility of the ligand conformation to make two In(III) metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is developed, showing topological diversity and different stability. The X-shaped tetracarboxylic ligand H4TPTA ([1,1':3',1″-terphenyl]-4,4',4″,6'-tetracarboxylic acid) was selected to construct two new heteroid In MOFs, namely, {[CH3NH3][In(TPTA)]·2(NMF)} (MOF 1) and {[In2(TPTA)(OH)2]·2(H2O)·(DMF)} (MOF 2). MOF 1 is a (4, 4)-connected net showing a pts topology with a large channel that is not conducive to fine gas separation. By contrast, with the reduction of SBU from uninucleated In to an {In-OH-In}n chain, MOF 2 has a (4, 6)-connected net with the fsc topology with an ∼5 Å suitable micropore to confine matching small gas. The permanent porosity of MOF 2 leads to the preferential adsorption of C2H2 over CO2 with superior C2H2/CH4 (332.3) and CO2/CH4 (31.2) separation selectivities. Meanwhile, the cycling dynamic breakthrough experiments showed that the high-purity C2H2 (>99.8%) capture capacities of MOF 2 were >1.92 mmol g-1 from a binary C2H2/CH4 mixture, and its separation factor reached 10.

Abstract
The development of paraffin-selective adsorbents is desirable but extremely challenging because adsorbents usually prefer olefin over paraffin. Herein, a new pore-window-partition strategy is proposed for the rational design of highly efficient paraffin-preferred metal-organic framework (MOF) adsorbents. The power of this strategy is demonstrated by stepwise installations of linear bidentate N-donor linkers into a prototype MOF (SNNU-201) to produce a series of partitional MOF adsorbents (SNNU-202-204). With continuous pore-window partitions from SNNU-201 to SNNU-204, the isosteric heat of adsorption can be tuned from -34.4 to -19.4 kJ mol-1 for ethylene and from -25.5 to -20.7 kJ mol-1 for ethane. Accordingly, partitional MOFs exhibit much higher ethane adsorption capacities, especially for SNNU-204 (104.6 cm3 g-1), representing nearly 4 times as much ethane as the prototypical counterpart (SNNU-201; 27.5 cm3 g-1) under ambient conditions. The C2H6/C2H4 ideal adsorbed solution theory selectivity, dynamic breakthrough experiments, and theoretical simulations further indicate that pore-window partition is a promising and universal strategy for the exploration of highly efficient paraffin-selective MOF adsorbents.

Abstract
A honeycomb MOF, based on rare Ni6 trigonal-prismatic supermolecular building blocks, was fabricated by utilizing an unexploited [1,1'-biphenyl]-3,3',5,5'-tetracarboxylic acid linker with -NH2 substituent groups. The MOF contains novel building blocks and an enchanting structure, and also exhibits water-stable characteristics. Uniquely, the accessible adsorption sites, arising due to the high-density Lewis-basic amino-coordinated groups and uncoordinated carboxylate O atoms in the pores, endow the MOF with excellent capture and separation capabilities for C2H2.

Abstract
Gas separation performances are usually degraded under humid conditions for many crystalline porous materials because of the lack of water stability and/or the competition of water vapor toward the interaction sites (e.g., open metal sites). Zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) are suitable candidates for practical applications in gas separation because of their excellent physical/chemical stabilities. However, the limitation of substituent positions in common ZIFs has prevented extensive pore engineering to improve their separation performance. In a type of gyroidal ZIFs with gie topology, the Schiff base moiety provides additional substituent positions, making it possible to modify the spatial arrangement of hydrophobic methyl groups. Herein, a new gyroidal ZIF, ZnBAIm (H2BAIm = 1,2-bis(1-(1H-imidazol-4-yl)ethylidene)hydrazine), is designed, synthesized, and characterized. The spatially modified ZnBAIm exhibits improved thermal/chemical/mechanical stabilities compared to ZnBIm (H2BIm = 1,2-bis((5H-imidazol-4-yl)methylene)hydrazine). ZnBAIm can remain intact up to about 480 °C in a N2 atmosphere and tolerate harsh treatments (e.g., 5 M NaOH aqueous solution at room temperature for 24 h and 190 MPa high pressure in the presence of water). Moreover, the modified pore and window sizes have improved significantly the ethane/ethylene selectivity and separation performance under humid conditions for ZnBAIm. Breakthrough experiments demonstrate efficient separation of a C2H6/C2H4 (50/50, v/v) binary gas mixture under ambient conditions; more importantly, the C2H6/C2H4 separation performance is unaffected under highly humid conditions (up to 80% RH). The separation performance is attributed to combined thermodynamic (stronger dispersion interaction with C2H6 than with C2H4) and kinetic factors (diffusion), determined by density functional theory calculations and kinetic adsorption study, respectively.

Abstract
Herein, by replacement of the linear terephthalate linker with the bending 2,5-thiophenedicarboxylate (tdc2-) linker in the typical (3,9)-connected metal-organic framework, with a reduced 8-connected hydroxyl-centered trinuclear cluster, a new (3,8)-connected network, [Ni3(μ3-OH)(tdc)3(tpp)] [DZU-1; tpp = 2,4,6-tris(4-pyridyl)pyridine], was synthesized. The modified pore environment enables DZU-1 to selectively adsorb C2H2 over CO2 in an efficient manner.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) represent a kind of low-energy physisorbent with modifiable pores and framework structures; however, a deep understanding of how these structural features influence properties is a prerequisite for the rational design and development of tailor-made materials for advanced applications. In this report, a MOF, [Ni2(TCPP-Ni)1/4(TPIM)2(COOH)F][(Me2NH2)SiF6]·xS (SDU-CP-1; S = solvent molecules, SDU = Shandong University, and CP = coordination polymer), assembled by tetrakis(4-carboxyphenyl)porphyrin (TCPP-Ni) and 2,4,5-tris(4-pyridyl)imidazole (TPIM) ligands as well as Ni2+ cations is reported. Interestingly, inorganic SiF62- anions do not serve as the pillars like precedents in the framework but are just counterions, which endows SDU-CP-1 with high uptake for C2H2 and adsorption selectivity (2.5-4.2) for C2H2/CO2 at room temperature, as certified by gas adsorption and separation experiments and grand canonical Monte Carlo calculation.
