Abstract
Adsorptive separation of Xe and Kr is an industrially promising but challenging process because of their identical shape and similar physicochemical properties. Herein, we demonstrate a strategy through rationally designing the linkers of anionic functional ultramicroporous materials (FUMs) to finely regulate the pore chemistry and architecture, which creates unique stepped channels incorporating dense polar nanotraps to generate a larger effective pore space and enables dense packing of Xe. A new hydrolytically stable FUM (ZUL-530) was prepared, which for the first time achieves a Xe packing density exceeding the liquid Xe density at atmospheric conditions in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) (based on experimental data), resulting in both excellent Xe uptake (2.55 mmol g-1 at 0.2 bar) and high IAST selectivity (20.5). GCMC and DFT-D calculations reveal the essential role of the stepped traps in the dense packing of Xe. Breakthrough experiments demonstrate remarkable productivities of both high-purity Kr (6.70 mmol g-1) and Xe (1.78 mmol g-1) for the Xe/Kr (20:80) mixture. In a model nuclear industry exhaust gas, ZUL-530 exhibits a top-class Xe dynamic capacity (28.8 mmol kg-1) for trace Xe, which proves it is one of the best candidates for Xe/Kr separation.

Abstract
Sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) is widely used as an insulating gas, being an etchant and contrast agent in the electrical, semiconductor, and medical industries. However, due to its long lifetime and high global warming potential in the atmosphere, SF6 must be carefully handled to prevent leakage during production and usage. Herein, we report a sod-net metal-azolate framework (MAF) named MAF-stu-111, which decorates methyl and aldehyde groups in the porous windows, showing high adsorption affinity for SF6 at low pressure. Stability tests, gas adsorption, and breakthrough experiments demonstrated that MAF-stu-111 possesses excellent water and chemical stability, fully reversible SF6 uptake, high SF6/N2 separation selectivity (10:90, 285.2), good reusability, and high SF6 recovery purity (99.03%). Theoretical calculations revealed that hydrogen atoms of methyl and aldehyde groups can form multiple hydrogen bonds with SF6 molecules, which ensure that SF6 molecules are firmly held within the MAF-stu-111 framework, playing a key role in the selective separation of SF6/N2.

Abstract
ConspectusFlexible metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), also known as soft porous crystals, exhibit dynamic behaviors in response to external physical and chemical stimuli such as light, heat, electric or magnetic field, or the presence of particular matters, on the premise of maintaining their crystalline state. The reversible structural transformation of flexible MOFs, a unique characteristic seldomly found in other types of known solid-state materials, affords them distinct properties in the realms of molecule separation, optoelectronic devices, chemical sensing, information storage, biomedicine applications, and so on. The mechanisms underlying their dynamic behaviors can be comprehensively investigated at the molecular level by means of in situ single-crystal or powder X-ray diffraction as well as other in situ spectroscopic techniques due to the high regularity of these crystalline materials during stimuli-responsive phase transitions. Through the introduction of specific stimuli-responsive groups/moieties into the well-defined and ordered molecular arrays, targeted applications can be achieved, and the performance of flexible MOFs can also be further improved via rational structural design.In this Account, we summarize our progress on the design, synthesis, and applications of flexible MOFs over the past few years. First, we highlight the construction principle of flexible MOFs, emphasizing the pivotal role of local structural design. Using an F-modified ligand, a flexible MOF with remarkable structural transformations can be obtained; the regulation of the metal coordination environment and interpenetrating frameworks is also crucial for achieving flexible MOFs. We also propose a strong correlation strategy based on the supramolecular interactions between the guest molecules and the framework, which realizes the temperature-responsive dynamic spatial "open-closed" regulation. Mechanisms of the dynamic behaviors investigated by the in situ techniques were also presented for the obtained materials. Second, some representative specific applications of the newly developed dynamic coordination systems were reviewed. The gas molecule responsive flexible MOFs show efficient short-chain alkane separation properties with discriminatory sorption behavior toward similar gaseous substrates. Smart sensing of temperature, pressure, and volatile organic compounds was achieved by several novel flexible fluorescent MOFs, with optimization potential through state-of-the-art chemical design. Furthermore, multiferroic materials with multiple bistable states and high working temperatures were also obtained based on flexible MOFs.Finally, we provide a discussion of the challenges of flexible MOFs in future research, including precise and efficient synthesis, in-depth structure-property relationship investigation, performance optimization, and industrialization. We hope that this Account will stimulate further research interest in developing next-generation smart materials based on flexible MOFs for applications in challenging chemical separation, extreme environmental sensing, massive information storage, and beyond.

Abstract
Electroredox of organics provides a promising and green approach to producing value-added chemicals. However, it remains a grand challenge to achieve high selectivity of desired products simultaneously at two electrodes, especially for non-isoelectronic transfer reactions. Here a porous heterostructure of Mo2C@Co-NC is successfully fabricated, where subnanometre β-Mo2C clusters (<1 nm, ≈10 wt%) are confined inside porous Co, N-doped carbon using metalorganic frameworks. It is found that Co species not only promote the formation of β-Mo2C but also can prevent it from oxidation by constructing the heterojunctions. As noted, the heterostructure achieves >96% yield and 92% Faradaic efficiency (FE) for aldehydes in anodic alcohol oxidation, as well as >99.9% yield and 96% FE for amines in cathodal nitrocompounds reduction in 1.0 M KOH. Precise control of the reaction kinetics of two half-reactions by the electronic interaction between β-Mo2C and Co is a crucial adjective. Density functional theory (DFT) gives in-depth mechanistic insight into the high aldehyde selectivity. The work guides authors to reveal the electrooxidation nature of Mo2C at a subnanometer level. It is anticipated that the strategy will provide new insights into the design of highly effective bifunctional electrocatalysts for the coproduction of more complex fine chemicals.

Abstract
n-C4H10 and iso-C4H10 are both important petrochemical raw materials. Considering the coexistence of the isomers in the production process, it is necessary to achieve their efficient separation through an economical way. However, to obtain high-purity n-C4H10 and iso-C4H10 in one-step separation process, developing iso-C4H10-exclusion adsorbents with high n-C4H10 adsorption capacity is crucial. Herein, we report a cage-like MOF (SIFSIX-Cu-TPA) with small windows and large cavities which can selectively allow smaller n-C4H10 enter the pore and accommodate a large amount of n-C4H10 simultaneously. Adsorption isotherms reveal that SIFSIX-Cu-TPA not only completely excludes iso-C4H10 in a wide temperature range, but also exhibits a very high n-C4H10 adsorption capacity of 94.2 cm3 g-1 at 100 kPa and 298 K, which is the highest value among iso-C4H10-exclusion-type adsorbents. Breakthrough experiments show that SIFSIX-Cu-TPA has excellent n/iso-C4H10 separation performance and can achieve a record-high productivity of iso-C4H10 (3.2 mol kg-1) with high purity (>99.95 %) as well as 3.0 mol kg-1 of n-C4H10 (>99 %) in one separation circle. More importantly, SIFSIX-Cu-TPA can realize the efficient separation of butanes at different flow rates, temperatures, as well as under high humid condition, which indicates that SIFSIX-Cu-TPA can be deemed as an ideal platform for industrial butane isomers separation.

Abstract
The efficient separation of C2H2 from C2H2/CO2 or C2H2/CO2/CH4 mixtures is crucial for achieving high-purity C2H2 (>99%), essential in producing contemporary commodity chemicals. In this report, we present ZNU-12, a metal-organic framework with space-partitioned pores formed by inorganic fluorinated anions, for highly efficient C2H2/CO2 and C2H2/CO2/CH4 separation. The framework, partitioned by fluorinated SiF62- anions into three distinct cages, enables both a high C2H2 capacity (176.5 cm3/g at 298 K and 1.0 bar) and outstanding C2H2 selectivity over CO2 (13.4) and CH4 (233.5) simultaneously. Notably, we achieve a record-high C2H2 productivity (132.7, 105.9, 98.8, and 80.0 L/kg with 99.5% purity) from C2H2/CO2 (v/v = 50/50) and C2H2/CO2/CH4 (v/v = 1/1/1, 1/1/2, or 1/1/8) mixtures through a cycle of adsorption-desorption breakthrough experiments with high recovery rates. Theoretical calculations suggest the presence of potent "2 + 2" collaborative hydrogen bonds between C2H2 and two hexafluorosilicate (SiF62-) anions in the confined cavities.

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
Surface barriers are commonly observed in nanoporous materials. Although researchers have explored methods to repair defects or create flawless crystals to mitigate surface barriers, these approaches may not always be practical or readily achievable in targeted metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). In our study, we propose an alternative approach focusing on the introduction of diverse ligands onto a MOF-808 node to finely adjust its adsorption and mass transport characteristics. Significantly, our findings indicate that while adsorption curves can be inferred based on the MOF's chemical composition and the probing molecule, surface permeabilities exhibit variations dependent on the specific probe utilized and the incorporated ligand. Our investigation, considering van der Waals forces exclusively between the adsorbate (e.g., n-hexane, propane, and benzene) and the adsorbent, revealed that augmenting these interactions can indeed improve surface permeation to a certain extent. Conversely, strong adsorption resulting from hydrogen bonding interactions, particularly with water in modified MOFs, led to compromised permeation within the MOF crystals. These outcomes provide valuable insights for the porous materials community and offer guidance in the development of adsorbents with enhanced affinity and superior mass transport properties for gases and vapors.

Abstract
Porous materials that could recognize specific molecules from complex mixtures are of great potential in improving the current energy-intensive multistep separation processes. However, due to the highly similar structures and properties of the mixtures, the design of desired porous materials remains challenging. Herein, a sulfonate-functionalized metal-organic framework ZU-609 with suitable pore size and pore chemistry is designed for 1,3-butadiene (C4H6) purification from complex C4 mixtures. The sulfonate anions decorated in the channel achieve selective recognition of C4H6 from other C4 olefins with subtle polarity differences through C-H⋅⋅⋅O-S interactions, affording recorded C4H6/trans-2-C4H8 selectivity (4.4). Meanwhile, the shrunken mouth of the channel with a suitable pore size (4.6 Å) exhibits exclusion effect to the larger molecules cis-2-C4H8, iso-C4H8, n-C4H10 and iso-C4H10. Benefiting from the moderate C4 olefins binding affinity exhibited by sulfonate anions, the adsorbed C4H6 could be easily regenerated near ambient conditions. Polymer-grade 1,3-butadiene (99.5 %) is firstly obtained from 7-component C4 mixtures via one adsorption-desorption cycle. The work demonstrates the great potential of synergistic recognition of size-sieving and thermodynamically equilibrium in dealing with complex mixtures.

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2024; 63:e202403421. [PMID: 38533686 DOI: 10.1002/anie.202403421] [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: 02/19/2024] [Revised: 03/25/2024] [Accepted: 03/27/2024] [Indexed: 03/28/2024]
Abstract
Adsorptive separation of propyne/propylene (C3H4/C3H6) is a crucial yet complex process, however, it remains a great difficulty in developing porous materials that can meet the requirements for practical applications, particularly with an exceptional ability to bind and store trace amounts of C3H4. Functionalization of pore-partitioned metal-organic frameworks (ppMOFs) is methodically suited for this challenge owing to the possibility of dramatically increasing binding sites on highly porous and confined domains. We here immobilized Lewis-basic (-NH2) and Lewis-acidic (-NO2) sites on this platform. Along with an integrated nature of high uptake of C3H4 at 1 kPa, high uptake difference of C3H4-C3H6, moderated binding strength, promoted kinetic selectivity, trapping effect and high stability, the NH2-decorated ppMOF (NTU-100-NH2) can efficiently produce polymer-grade C3H6 (99.95 %, 8.3 mmol ⋅ g-1) at room temperature, which is six times more than the NO2-decorated crystal (NTU-100-NO2). The in situ infrared spectroscopy, crystallographic analysis, and sequential blowing tests showed that the densely packed amino group in this highly porous system has a unique ability to recognize and stabilize C3H4 molecules. Moving forward, the strategy of organic functionalization can be extended to other porous systems, making it a powerful tool to customize advanced materials for challenging tasks.

Abstract
Inorganic zeolites have excellent molecular sieving properties, but they are difficult to process into macroscopic structures. In this work, we use metal-organic framework (MOF) glass as substrates to engineer the interface with inorganic zeolites, and then assemble the discrete crystalline zeolite powders into monolithic structures. The zeolites are well dispersed and stabilized within the MOF glass matrix, and the monolith has satisfactory mechanical stabilities for membrane applications. We demonstrate the effective separation performance of the membrane for 1,3-butadiene (C4H6) from other C4 hydrocarbons, which is a crucial and challenging separation in the chemical industry. The membrane achieves a high permeance of C4H6 (693.00±21.83 GPU) and a high selectivity over n-butene, n-butane, isobutene, and isobutane (9.72, 9.94, 10.31, and 11.94, respectively). This strategy opens up new possibilities for developing advanced membrane materials for difficult hydrocarbon separations.

Abstract
The adsorptive separation of ternary propyne (C3H4)/propylene (C3H6)/propane (C3H8) mixtures is of significant importance due to its energy efficiency. However, achieving this process using an adsorbent has not yet been accomplished. To tackle such a challenge, herein, we present a novel approach of fine-regulation of the gradient of gate-opening in soft nanoporous crystals. Through node substitution, an exclusive gate-opening to C3H4 (17.1 kPa) in NTU-65-FeZr has been tailored into a sequential response of C3H4 (1.6 kPa), C3H6 (19.4 kPa), and finally C3H8 (57.2 kPa) in NTU-65-CoTi, of which the gradient framework changes have been validated by in situ powder X-ray diffractions and modeling calculations. Such a significant breakthrough enables NTU-65-CoTi to sieve the ternary mixtures of C3H4/C3H6/C3H8 under ambient conditions, particularly, highly pure C3H8 (99.9%) and C3H6 (99.5%) can be obtained from the vacuum PSA scheme. In addition, the fully reversible structural change ensures no loss in performance during the cycling dynamic separations. Moving forward, regulating gradient gate-opening can be conveniently extended to other families of soft nanoporous crystals, making it a powerful tool to optimize these materials for more complex applications.

Abstract
Selective recognition of 1,3-butadiene from complex olefin isomers is vital for 1,3-butadiene purification, but the lack of porous materials with suitable pore structures results in poor selectivity and low capacity in C4 olefin separation. Herein, two sulfonate-functionalized organic frameworks, ZU-601 and ZU-602, are designed and show impressive separation performance toward C4 olefins. Benefiting from the suitable aperture size caused by the flexibility of coordinated organic ligand, ZU-601, ZU-602 that are pillared with different sulfonate anions could discriminate C4 olefin isomers with high uptake ratio: 1,3-butadiene/1-butene (207), 1,3-butadiene/trans-2-butene (10.1). Meanwhile, their layer-stacked structure enables the utilization of both intra- and interlayer space, enhancing the accommodation of guest molecules. ZU-601 exhibits record high 1,3-butadiene adsorption capacity of 2.90 mmol g-1 (0.5 bar, 298 K) among the reported flexible porous materials with high 1,3-butadiene/1-butene selectivity. The breakthrough experiments confirm their superior separation ability even for all five C4 olefin isomers, and the molecular-level structural change is well elucidated via powder, crystal analysis, and simulation studies. The work provides ideas toward advanced materials design with simultaneous high separation capacity and high separation selectivity for challenging separations.

Abstract
Developing porous adsorbents for efficient separation of C4 olefins is significant but challenging in the petrochemical industry due to their similar molecular sizes and physical properties. The separation efficiency is often limited when separating C4 olefins by a single separation mechanism. Herein, an ultramicroporous yttrium-based MOF, Y-dbai, is reported featuring cage-like pores connected by small windows, for recognition and efficient separation of C4 olefins through a synergistic effect of thermodynamic and kinetic mechanisms. At 298 K and 1 bar, the adsorption capacities of Y-dbai for C4H6, 1-C4H8, and i-C4H8 are 2.88, 1.07, and 0.14 mmol g-1, respectively, indicating a molecular sieving effect toward i-C4H8. The C4H6/i-C4H8 and 1-C4H8/i-C4H8 uptake selectivities of Y-dbai are 20.6 and 7.6, respectively, outperforming most of the reported adsorbents. The static and kinetic adsorption experiments coupled with DFT calculations indicate the separation should be attributed to a combined effect of thermodynamically and kinetically controlled mechanism. Breakthrough experiments have confirmed the excellent separation capability of Y-dbai toward C4H6/1-C4H8, C4H6/i-C4H8, and C4H6/1-C4H8/i-C4H8 mixtures.

Abstract
Extensive efforts have been made to improve the separation selectivity of hydrocarbon isomers with nearly distinguishable boiling points; however, how to balance the high regeneration energy consumption remains a daunting challenge. Here we describe the efficient separation of hexane isomers by constructing and exploiting the rotational freedom of organic linkers and inorganic SnF62- anions within adaptive frameworks, and reveal the nature of flexible host-guest interactions to maximize the gas-framework interactions while achieving potential energy storage. This approach enables the discrimination of hexane isomers according to the degree of branching along with high capacity and record mono-/di-branched selectivity (6.97), di-branched isomers selectivity (22.16), and upgrades the gasoline to a maximum RON (Research Octane Number) of 105. Benefitting from the energy regulation of the flexible pore space, the material can be easily regenerated only through a simple vacuum treatment for 15 minutes at 25 °C with no temperature fluctuation, saving almost 45% energy compared to the commercialized zeolite 5 A. This approach could potentially revolutionize the whole scenario of alkane isomer separation processes.

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
A 3D hydrogen-bonded metal-organic framework, [Cu(apc)2]n (TJU-Dan-5, Hapc = 2-aminopyrimidine-5-carboxylic acid), was synthesized via a solvothermal reaction. The activated TJU-Dan-5 with permanent porosity exhibits a moderate uptake of 1.52 wt% of hydrogen gas at 77 K. The appropriate BET surface areas and decoration of the internal polar pore surfaces with groups that form extensive hydrogen bonds offer a more favorable environment for selective C2H6 adsorption, with a predicted selectivity for C2H6/CH4 of around 101 in C2H6/CH4 (5:95, v/v) mixtures at 273 K under 100 kPa. The molecular model calculation demonstrates a C-H···π interaction and a van der Waals host-guest interaction of C2H6 with the pore walls. This work provides a strategy for the construction of 3D hydrogen-bonded MOFs, which may have great potential in the purification of natural gas.

Abstract
The design of molecular sieves is vital for gas separation, but it suffers from a long-standing issue of slow adsorption kinetics due to the intrinsic contradiction between molecular sieving and diffusion within restricted nanopores. We report a molecular sieve ZU-609 with local sieving channels that feature molecular sieving gates and rapid diffusion channels. The precise cross-sectional cutoff of molecular sieving gates enables the exclusion of propane from propylene. The coexisting large channels constituted by sulfonic anions and helically arranged metal-organic architectures allow the fast adsorption kinetics of propylene, and the measured propylene diffusion coefficient in ZU-609 is one to two orders of magnitude higher than previous molecular sieves. Propylene with 99.9% purity is obtained through breakthrough experiments with a productivity of 32.2 L kg-1.

Abstract
The adsorptive separation of propylene and propane offers an energy-efficient alternative to the conventional cryogenic distillation technology. However, developing porous adsorbents with both high equilibrium and kinetic selectivity remains extremely challenging due to the similar size and physical properties of these gases. Herein, this work reports a ligand racemization strategy to construct quasi-discrete pores in MOFs for a synergistically enhanced thermodynamic and kinetic separation performance. The use of enantiopure l-malic acid versus racemic dl-malic acid as ligands afforded isoreticular Ni-based MOFs with contrasting one-dimensional channels (l-mal-MOF) and quasi-discrete cavities connected by small windows (dl-mal-MOF). The periodic pore constrictions in dl-mal-MOF significantly increased the differentiation in diffusion rates and binding energies between propylene and propane. dl-mal-MOF exhibited an exceptional propylene uptake of 1.82 mmol/g at 0.05 bar and 298 K along with an ultrahigh equilibrium-kinetic combined selectivity of 62.6. DFT calculations and MD simulations provided insights into the synergistic mechanism of preferential propylene adsorption and diffusion. Breakthrough column experiments demonstrated the excellent separation and high-purity recovery of propylene over propane on dl-mal-MOF. The robust stability and facile regeneration highlight its potential for propylene purification applications.

Abstract
Soft porous coordination polymers (PCPs) have the remarkable ability to recognize similar molecules as a result of their structural dynamics. However, their guest-induced gate-opening behaviors often lead to issues with selectivity and separation efficiency, as co-adsorption is nearly unavoidable. Herein, we report a strategy of a confined-rotational shutter, in which the rotation of pyridyl rings within the confined nanospace of a halogen-bonded coordination framework (NTU-88) creates a maximum aperture of 4.4 Å, which is very close to the molecular size of propyne (C3 H4 : 4.4 Å), but smaller than that of propylene (C3 H6 : 5.4 Å). This has been evidenced by crystallographic analyses and modelling calculations. The NTU-88o (open phase of activated NTU-88) demonstrates dedicated C3 H4 adsorption, and thereby leads to a sieving separation of C3 H4 /C3 H6 under ambient conditions. The integrated nature of high uptake ratio, considerable capacity, scalable synthesis, and good stability make NTU-88 a promising candidate for the feasible removal of C3 H4 from C3 H4 /C3 H6 mixtures. In principle, this strategy holds high potential for extension to soft families, making it a powerful tool for optimizing materials that can tackle challenging separations with no co-adsorption, while retaining the crucial aspect of high capacity.

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
Porous materials with d3 electronic configuration open metal sites have been proved to be effective adsorbents for N2 capture and N2 /O2 separation. However, the reported materials remain challenging to address the trade-off between adsorption capacity and selectivity. Herein, we report a robust MOF, MIL-102Cr, that features two binding sites, can synergistically afford strong interactions for N2 capture. The synergistic adsorption site exhibits a benchmark Qst of 45.0 kJ mol-1 for N2 among the Cr-based MOFs, a record-high volumetric N2 uptake (31.38 cm3 cm-3 ), and highest N2 /O2 selectivity (13.11) at 298 K and 1.0 bar. Breakthrough experiments reveal that MIL-102Cr can efficiently capture N2 from a 79/21 N2 /O2 mixture, providing a record 99.99 % pure O2 productivity of 0.75 mmol g-1 . In situ infrared spectroscopy and computational modelling studies revealed that a synergistic adsorption effect by open Cr(III) and fluorine sites was accountable for the strong interactions between the MOF and N2 .

Abstract
In the petrochemical industry, obtaining polymer-grade ethylene from complex light-hydrocarbon mixtures by one-step separation is important and challenging. Here, we successfully prepared the Metal-Azolate Framework 7 (MAF-7) with pore chemistry and geometry control to realize the one-step separation of ethylene from cracking gas with up to quinary gas mixtures (propane/propylene/ethane/ethylene/acetylene). Based on the tailor-made pore environment, MAF-7 exhibited better selective adsorption of propane, propylene, ethane and acetylene than ethylene, and the adsorption ratios of ethane/ethylene and propylene/ethylene are as high as 1.49 and 2.81, respectively. The pore geometry design of MAF-7 leads to the unique weak binding affinity and adsorption site for ethylene molecules, which is clearly proved by Grand Canonical Monte Carlo theoretical calculations. The breakthrough experiments show that ethylene can be directly obtained from binary, ternary, and quinary gas mixtures. These comprehensive properties show that MAF-7 is expected to achieve one-step purification of ethylene in complex light hydrocarbon mixtures.

Abstract
Soft nanoporous crystals with structural dynamics are among the most exciting recently discovered materials. However, designing or controlling a porous system with delicate softness that can recognize similar gas pairs, particularly for the promoted ability at increased temperature, remains a challenge. Here, we report a soft crystal (NTU-68) with a one-dimensional (1D) channel that expands and contracts delicately around 4 Å at elevated temperature. The completely different adsorption processes of propane (C3H8: kinetic dominance) and propylene (C3H6: thermodynamic preference) allow the crystal to show a sieving separation of this mixtures (9.9 min·g-1) at 273 K, and the performance increases more than 2-fold (20.4 min·g-1) at 298 K. This phenomenon is contrary to the general observation for adsorption separation: the higher the temperature, the lower the efficiency. Gas-loaded in situ powder X-ray analysis and modeling calculations reveal that slight pore expansion caused by the increased temperature provides plausible nanochannel for adsorption of the relatively smaller C3H6 while maintaining constriction on the larger C3H8. In addition, the separation process remains unaffected by the general impurities, demonstrating its true potential as an alternative sorbent for practical applications. Moving forward, the delicate crystal dynamics and promoted capability for molecular recognition provide a new route for the design of next-generation sieve materials.

Abstract
Excessive CO2 in the air can not only lead to serious climate problems but also cause serious damage to humans in confined spaces. Here, a novel metal-organic framework (FJI-H38) with adaptive ultramicropores and multiple active sites is prepared. It can sieve CO2 from air with the very high adsorption capacity/selectivity but the lowest adsorption enthalpy among the reported physical adsorbents. Such excellent adsorption performances can be retained even at high humidity. Mechanistic studies show that the polar ultramicropore is very suitable for molecular sieving of CO2 from N2 , and the distinguishable adsorption sites for H2 O and CO2 enable them to be co-adsorbed. Notably, the adsorbed-CO2 -driven pore shrinkage can further promote CO2 capture while the adsorbed-H2 O-induced phase transitions in turn inhibit H2 O adsorption. Moreover, FJI-H38 has excellent stability and recyclability and can be synthesized on a large scale, making it a practical trace CO2 adsorbent. This will provide a new strategy for developing practical adsorbents for CO2 capture from the air.

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
Selective catalysis has always been an essential process for manufacturing various fine chemicals, such as food additives, pharmaceuticals and perfumes. Practically, pure target products are difficult to obtain even after complex purification procedures during industrial production. The development of a cost-effective, highly chemoselective and long-life catalyst may be an attractive solution, but such a catalyst is elusive. Herein, a novel class of amphiphilic N-doped carbon (NC), featuring graphitic carbon (GC) and highly dispersed Cu@Co NPs, was fabricated via simple calcination of a Cu2+-doped bimetallic metal-organic framework (MOF) precusor directly. Compared with monometallic Co@GC/NC, the side reaction of CO bond hydrogenation is obviously restrained, and thus, pure target product can be systematically obtained by Cu@Co@GC/NC, highlighting the high selectivity of Cu. More importantly, an amphiphilic characteristic in Cu@Co@GC/NC is a significant knob to integrate organic substrates with water very well. This amphiphilic material shows great potential as a field-deployable pathway for dispersible metal catalysts in organic systems.

Abstract
Developing hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks (HOFs) that combine functional sites, size control, and storage capability for targeting gas molecule capture is a novel and challenging venture. However, there is a lack of effective strategies to tune the hydrogen-bonded network to achieve high-performance HOFs. Here, a series of HOFs termed as HOF-ZSTU-M (M=1, 2, and 3) with different pore structures are obtained by introducing structure-directing agents (SDAs) into the hydrogen-bonding network of tetrakis (4-carboxyphenyl) porphyrin (TCPP). These HOFs have distinct space configurations with pore channels ranging from discrete to continuous multi-dimensional. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction (SCXRD) analysis reveals a rare diversity of hydrogen-bonding models dominated by SDAs. HOF-ZSTU-2, which forms a strong layered hydrogen-bonding network with ammonium (NH4 + ) through multiple carboxyl groups, has a suitable 1D "pearl-chain" channel for the selective capture of propylene (C3 H6 ). At 298 K and 1 bar, the C3 H6 storage density of HOF-ZSTU-2 reaches 0.6 kg L-1 , representing one of the best C3 H6 storage materials, while offering a propylene/propane (C3 H6 /C3 H8 ) selectivity of 12.2. Theoretical calculations and in situ SCXRD provide a detailed analysis of the binding strength of C3 H6 at different locations in the pearl-chain channel. Dynamic breakthrough tests confirm that HOF-ZSTU-2 can effectively separate C3 H6 from multi-mixtures.

Abstract
Separation of acetylene (C2 H2 ) from carbon dioxide (CO2 ) or ethylene (C2 H4 ) is industrially important but still challenging so far. Herein, we developed two novel robust metal organic frameworks AlFSIX-Cu-TPBDA (ZNU-8) with znv topology and SIFSIX-Cu-TPBDA (ZNU-9) with wly topology for efficient capture of C2 H2 from CO2 and C2 H4 . Both ZNU-8 and ZNU-9 feature multiple anion functionalities and hierarchical porosity. Notably, ZNU-9 with more anionic binding sites and three distinct cages displays both an extremely large C2 H2 capacity (7.94 mmol/g) and a high C2 H2 /CO2 (10.3) or C2 H2 /C2 H4 (11.6) selectivity. The calculated capacity of C2 H2 per anion (4.94 mol/mol at 1 bar) is the highest among all the anion pillared metal organic frameworks. Theoretical calculation indicated that the strong cooperative hydrogen bonds exist between acetylene and the pillared SiF6 2- anions in the confined cavity, which is further confirmed by in situ IR spectra. The practical separation performance was explicitly demonstrated by dynamic breakthrough experiments with equimolar C2 H2 /CO2 mixtures and 1/99 C2 H2 /C2 H4 mixtures under various conditions with excellent recyclability and benchmark productivity of pure C2 H2 (5.13 mmol/g) or C2 H4 (48.57 mmol/g).

Abstract
Hydrocarbon separation is an important process in the field of petrochemical industry, which provides a variety of raw materials for industrial production and a strong support for the development of national economy. However, traditional separation processes involve huge energy consumption. Adsorptive separation based on nonporous adaptive crystal (NAC) materials is considered as an attractive green alternative to traditional energy-intensive separation technologies due to its advantages of low energy consumption, high chemical and thermal stability, excellent selective adsorption and separation performance, and outstanding recyclability. Considering the exceptional potential of NAC materials for hydrocarbon separation, this review comprehensively summarizes recent advances in various supramolecular host-based NACs. Moreover, the current challenges and future directions are illustrated in detail. It is expected that this review will provide useful and timely references for researchers in this area. Based on a large number of state-of-the-art studies, the review will definitely advance the development of NAC materials for hydrocarbon separation and stimulate more interesting studies in related fields.

Abstract
A one-stone, two-bird method to integrate the soft porosity and electrical properties of distinct metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) into a single material involves the design of conductive-on-insulating MOF (cMOF-on-iMOF) heterostructures that allow for direct electrical control. Herein, we report the synthesis of cMOF-on-iMOF heterostructures using a seeded layer-by-layer method, in which the sorptive iMOF core is combined with chemiresistive cMOF shells. The resulting cMOF-on-iMOF heterostructures exhibit enhanced selective sorption of CO2 compared to the pristine iMOF (298 K, 1 bar, SCO 2 / H 2 ${{_{{\rm CO}{_{2}}/{\rm H}{_{2}}}}}$ from 15.4 of ZIF-7 to 43.2-152.8). This enhancement is attributed to the porous interface formed by the hybridization of both frameworks at the molecular level. Furthermore, owing to the flexible structure of the iMOF core, the cMOF-on-iMOF heterostructures with semiconductive soft porous interfaces demonstrated high flexibility in sensing and electrical "shape memory" toward acetone and CO2 . This behavior was observed through the guest-induced structural changes of the iMOF core, as revealed by the operando synchrotron grazing incidence wide-angle X-ray scattering measurements.

Abstract
Highly selective CO2 capture from flue gas based on adsorption technology is among the largest challenge on the horizon, due to its high temperature (>333 K), lower partial pressure (0.1-0.2 bar), and competition from water. Due to the designable and tunable pore system, porous coordination polymers (PCPs) have been considered as the most exciting discoveries in porous materials. However, the rational design and function-led preparation of the pore system that permits highly selective CO2 capture from flue gas (CO2/N2/O2/CO/H2O) remains a great challenge. Herein, we report a highly selective CO2 capture from wet-hot (363 K, RH = 40%) flue gas by a robust trap-and-flow crystal (NTU-67). Crystallographic analysis showed that the flow channel provides plausible CO2 traffic, while the confined trap works as an accommodation for captured gas molecules. Further, the hydrophobic pore surface endows the function of the channels that are not influenced by hot moisture, a major obstacle to overcome direct CO2 capture by PCPs. The integral nature of NTU-67, including good stability in SO2, meets the key prerequisites that are usually considered for practical applications. The molecular insight and highly efficient CO2 capture make us believe that different nanospace with their own duties may be extended into ingenious design of more advanced adsorbents for cost-effective and promising for CO2 capture from flue gas.

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
Developing artificial porous systems with high molecular recognition performance is critical but very challenging to achieve selective uptake of a particular component from a mixture of many similar species, regardless of the size and affinity of these competing species. A porous platform that integrates multiple recognition mechanisms working cooperatively for highly efficient guest identification is desired. Here, we designed a flexible porous coordination polymer (PCP) and realised a corrugated channel system that cooperatively responds to only target gas molecules by taking advantage of its stereochemical shape, location of binding sites, and structural softness. The binding sites and structural deformation act synergistically, exhibiting exclusive discrimination gating (EDG) effect for selective gate-opening adsorption of CO2 over nine similar gas molecules, including N2, CH4, CO, O2, H2, Ar, C2H6, and even higher-affinity gases such as C2H2 and C2H4. Combining in-situ crystallographic experiments with theoretical studies, it is clear that this unparalleled ability to decipher the CO2 molecule is achieved through the coordination of framework dynamics, guest diffusion, and interaction energetics. Furthermore, the gas co-adsorption and breakthrough separation performance render the obtained PCP an efficient adsorbent for CO2 capture from various gas mixtures.

Abstract
The interactions between adsorbed gas molecules within porous metal-organic frameworks are crucial to gas selectivity but remain poorly explored. Here, we report the modulation of packing geometries of CO2 and C2H2 clusters within the ultramicroporous CUK-1 material as a function of temperature. In-situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction reveals a unique temperature-dependent reversal of CO2 and C2H2 adsorption affinities on CUK-1, which is validated by gas sorption and dynamic breakthrough experiments, affording high-purity C2H2 (99.95%) from the equimolar mixture of C2H2/CO2 via a one-step purification process. At low temperatures (<253 K), CUK-1 preferentially adsorbs CO2 with both high selectivity (>10) and capacity (170 cm3 g-1) owing to the formation of CO2 tetramers that simultaneously maximize the guest-guest and host-guest interactions. At room temperature, conventionally selective adsorption of C2H2 is observed. The selectivity reversal, structural robustness, and facile regeneration of CUK-1 suggest its potential for producing high-purity C2H2 by temperature-swing sorption.

Abstract
One-step purification of ethylene (C2 H4 ) from a quaternary gas mixture of C2 H6 /C2 H4 /C2 H2 /CO2 by adsorption is a promising separation process, yet developing adsorbents that synergistically capture various gas impurities remains challenging. Herein, a Lego-brick strategy is proposed to customize pore chemistry in a unified framework material. The ethane-selective MOF platform is further modified with customized binding sites to specifically adsorb acetylene and carbon dioxide, thus one-step purification of C2 H4 with high productivity of polymer-grade product (134 mol kg-1 ) is achieved on the assembly of porous coordination polymer-2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (PCP-FDCA) and PCP-5-aminoisophthalic acid (IPA-NH2 ). Computational studies verify that the low-polarity surface of this MOFs-based platform provides a delicate environment for C2 H6 recognition, and the specific binding sites (FDCA and IPA-NH2 ) exhibit favorable trapping of C2 H2 and CO2 via CHδ+ ···Oδ- and Cδ+ ···Nδ- electrostatic interactions, respectively. The proposed Lego-brick strategy to customize binding sites within the MOFs structure provides new ideas for the design of adsorbents for compounded separation tasks.

Abstract
With the fast-growing accumulation of electronic waste and rising demand for rare metals, it is compelling to develop technologies that can promotionally recover targeted metals, like gold, from waste, a process referred to as urban mining. Thus, there is increasing interest in the design of materials to achieve rapid, selective gold capture while maintaining high adsorption capacity, especially in complex aqueous-based matrices. Here, a highly porous metal-organic framework (MOF)-polymer composite, BUT-33-poly(para-phenylenediamine) (PpPD), is assessed for gold extraction from several matrices including river water, seawater, and leaching solutions from CPUs. BUT-33-PpPD exhibits a record-breaking extraction rate, with high Au3+ removal efficiency (>99%) within seconds (less than 45 s), a competitive capacity (1600 mg/g), high selectivity, long-term stability, and recycling ability. Furthermore, the high porosity and redox adsorption mechanism were shown to be underlying reasons for the material's excellent performance. Given the accumulation of recovered metallic gold nanoparticles inside, the material was also efficiently applied as a catalyst.

Abstract
Different from traditional procedures of using solid stabilizers like polymers and surfactants, here we demonstrate that water, as a very "soft" matter, could function as a "spacer" to prevent the aggregation of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) in aqueous dispersions. Our theoretical calculations reveal in case of an excess of positively charged metal nodes of MOFs, where water molecules are ligated to metal nodes that greatly enhance MOFs' solution dispersibility through electrostatic stabilization. This discovery has motivated us to develop a facile experimental approach for producing a category of "clean" MOF dispersions without foreign additives. Potential application has been demonstrated for the size fractionation of MOFs, which results in small-size MOFs (50-80 nm) characteristic of superior electrocatalytic oxygen evolution activities (256 mV at 10 mA cm-2, Tafel slope of 49 mV dec-1 and durability >30 h). This work would provide new clues for aqueous processing of MOFs for many emerging applications.

Abstract
Photocatalytic performance can be effectively improved by modifying the functional groups on the organic ligands of metal organic frameworks (MOFs). Herein, the hydroxyl-modified UiO-66 type MOF: UIO-66-2OH(2,3), was successfully synthesized by the method of ligand exchange by the 2,3-dihydroxyterephthalic acid and UIO-66 as raw materials. The mechanism of photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue (MB) by UIO-66-2OH(2,3) shows that the hydroxyl functional group on the organic ligand regulates its electronegativity and expands its light absorption range. The decomposition of MB is carried out in multiple steps under the oxidation of the hydroxyl radical (˙OH). This research result shows the direction for guiding the synthesis of efficient photocatalysts and clarifying the light absorption of MOFs regulated by hydroxyl functional groups.

Abstract
Efficient separation of xenon (Xe) and krypton (Kr) mixtures through vacuum swing adsorption (VSA) is considered the most attractive route to reduce energy consumption, but discriminating between these two gases is difficult due to their similar properties. In this work, we report a cubic zirconium-based MOF (Zr-MOF) platform, denoted as NU-1107, capable of achieving selective separation of Xe/Kr by post-synthetically engineering framework polarizability in a programmable manner. Specifically, the tetratopic linkers in NU-1107 feature tetradentate cyclen cores that are capable of chelating a variety of transition-metal ions, affording a sequence of metal-docked cationic isostructural Zr-MOFs. NU-1107-Ag(I), which features the strongest framework polarizability among this series, achieves the best performance for a 20:80 v/v Xe/Kr mixture at 298 K and 1.0 bar with an ideal adsorbed solution theory (IAST) predicted selectivity of 13.4, placing it among the highest performing MOF materials reported to date. Notably, the Xe/Kr separation performance for NU-1107-Ag(I) is significantly better than that of the isoreticular, porphyrin-based MOF-525-Ag(II), highlighting how the cyclen core can generate relatively stronger framework polarizability through the formation of low-valent Ag(I) species and polarizable counteranions. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations corroborate these experimental results and suggest strong interactions between Xe and exposed Ag(I) sites in NU-1107-Ag(I). Finally, we validated this framework polarizability regulation approach by demonstrating the effectiveness of NU-1107-Ag(I) toward C3H6/C3H8 separation, indicating that this generalizable strategy can facilitate the bespoke synthesis of polarized porous materials for targeted separations.

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.
