Abstract
The design and synthesis of permanently porous materials with extended cage structures is a long-standing challenge in chemistry. In this Account, we highlight the unique role of zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs), a class of framework materials built from tetrahedral nodes connected through imidazolate linkers, in meeting this challenge and illustrate specific features that set ZIFs apart from other porous materials. The structures of ZIFs are characteristic of a variety of large, zeolite-like cages that are covalently connected with neighboring cages and fused in three-dimensional space. In contrast to molecular cages, the fusion of cages results in extraordinary architectural and chemical stability for the passage of gases and molecules through cages and for carrying out chemical reactions within these cages while keeping the cages intact. The combination of the advantages from both cage chemistry and extended structures allows uniquely interconnected yet compartmentalized void spaces inside ZIF solids, rendering their wide range of applications in catalysis, gas storage, and gas separation.While the field of ZIFs has seen rapid development over the past decade, with hundreds of ZIF structures built from dozens of different cages of varying composition, size, and shapes reported, rational approaches to their design are largely unknown. In this Account, we summarize a vast number of cages formed in reported ZIFs and then review how the thermodynamic factors and traditional guest-templating strategies from zeolites influence the formation of cages. We highlight how the link-link interactions perform in the ZIF formation mechanism and serve as a means to target the formation of frameworks containing cages of specific sizes with structures exhibiting a level of complexity as yet unachieved in discrete coordination cages. For example, the giant ucb cage features a dimension of 46 Å and the complex moz cage is constructed from as many as 660 components.With the finding of these large and complex cages in ZIFs, we envision that the collection of cage structures will further be diversified by a mixed-linker approach utilizing a more complex combination of link-link interactions or by creating multivariant (MTV) systems that have been realized in other framework materials yet not widely employed in ZIFs. The more complicated cage structures can provide extra variations in chemical environments, and in addition to that, MTV systems can generate inhomogeneity inside each type of cage structure. The fused cages at such complexity that are difficult to be realized in solution environments will potentially enable more complex materials for smart applications.

Abstract
High-throughput computational screening of metal organic frameworks (MOFs) enables the discovery of new promising materials for CO2 capture and H2 purification. The number of synthesized MOFs is increasing very rapidly, and computation-ready, experimental MOF databases are being updated. Screening the most recent MOF database is essential to identify the best performing materials among several thousands. In this work, we performed molecular simulations of the most recent MOF database and described both the adsorbent and membrane-based separation performances of 10 221 MOFs for CO2 capture and H2 purification. The best materials identified for pressure swing adsorption, vacuum swing adsorption, and temperature swing adsorption processes outperformed commercial zeolites and previously studied MOFs in terms of CO2 selectivity and adsorbent performance score. We then discussed the applicability of Ideal Adsorbed Solution Theory (IAST), effects of inaccessible local pores and catenation in the frameworks and the presence of impurities in CO2/H2 mixture on the adsorbent performance metrics of MOFs. Very large numbers of MOF membranes were found to outperform traditional polymer and porous membranes in terms of H2 permeability. Our results show that MOFs that are recently added into the updated MOF database have higher CO2/H2 separation potentials than the previously reported MOFs. MOFs with small pores were identified as potential adsorbents for selective capture of CO2 from H2, whereas MOFs with high porosities were the promising membranes for selective separation of H2 from CO2. This study reveals the importance of enriching the number of MOFs in high-throughput computational screening studies for the discovery of new promising materials for CO2/H2 separation.

Abstract
Bibliometric studies allow to collect, organize and process information that can be used to guide the development of research and innovation and to provide basis for decision-making. Paraffin/olefin separations constitute an important industrial issue because cryogenic separation methods are frequently needed in industrial sites and are very expensive. As a consequence, the use of membrane separation processes has been extensively encouraged and has become an attractive alternative for commercial separation processes, as this may lead to reduction of production costs, equipment size, energy consumption and waste generation. For these reasons, a bibliometric survey of paraffin/olefin membrane separation processes is carried out in the present study in order to evaluate the maturity of the technology for this specific application. Although different studies have proposed the use of distinct alternatives for olefin/paraffin separations, the present work makes clear that consensus has yet to be reached among researchers and technicians regarding the specific membranes and operation conditions that will make these processes scalable for large-scale commercial applications.
