Abstract
Currently, few porous vanadium metal-organic frameworks (V-MOFs) are known and even fewer are obtainable as single crystals, resulting in limited information on their structures and properties. Here this work demonstrates remarkable promise of V-MOFs by presenting an extensible family of V-MOFs with tailorable pore geometry and properties. The synthesis leverages inter-modular synergy on a tri-modular pore-partitioned platform. New V-MOFs show a broad range of structural features and sorption properties suitable for gas storage and separation applications for C2H2/CO2, C2H6/C2H4, and C3H8/C3H6. The c/a ratio of the hexagonal cell, a measure of pore shape, is tunable from 0.612 to 1.258. Other tunable properties include pore size from 5.0 to 10.9 Å and surface area from 820 to 2964 m2 g-1. With C2H2/CO2 selectivity from 3.3 to 11 and high uptake capacity for C2H2 from 65.2 to 182 cm3 g-1 (298K, 1 bar), an efficient separation is confirmed by breakthrough experiments. The near-record high uptake for C2H6 (166.8 cm3 g-1) contributes to the promise for C2H6-selective separation of C2H6/C2H4. The multi-module pore expansion enables transition from C3H6-selective to more desirable C3H8-selective separation with extraordinarily high C3H8 uptake (254.9 cm3 g-1) and high separation potential (1.25 mmol g-1) for C3H8/C3H6 (50:50 v/v) mixture.

Abstract
The one-step efficient separation of high-purity C2H4 from C2H4/C2H6 mixtures by hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks (HOFs) faces two problems: lack of strategies for constructing stable pores in HOFs and how to obtain high C2H6 selectivity. Herein, we have developed a microporous Mortise-Tenon-type HOF (MTHOF-1, MT is short for Mortise-Tenon structure) with a new self-assembly mode for C2H4/C2H6 separation. Unlike previous HOFs which usually possess discrete head-to-head hydrogen bonds, MTHOF-1 is assembled by unique consecutive side-by-side hydrogen bonds, which result in mortise-and-tenon pores decorated with orderly arranged amide groups and benzene rings. As expected, MTHOF-1 exhibits excellent stability under various conditions and shows clear separation trends for C2H6/C2H4. The IAST selectivity is as high as 2.15 at 298 K. More importantly, dynamic breakthrough experiments have demonstrated that MTHOF-1 can effectively separate the C2H6/C2H4 feed gas to obtain polymer-grade C2H4 in one step even under high-humidity conditions.

Abstract
Since ethylene (C2H4) is important feedstock in the chemical industry, developing economical and energy-efficient adsorption separation techniques based on ethane (C2H6)-selective adsorbents to replace the energy-intensive cryogenic distillation is highly demanded, which however remains a daunting challenge. While previous anionic boron cluster hybrid microporous materials display C2H4-selective features, we herein reported that the incorporation of a neutral para-carborane backbone and aliphatic 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO) enables the reversed adsorption of C2H6 over C2H4. The generated carborane-hybrid microporous material ZNU-10 (ZNU = Zhejiang Normal University) is highly stable in humid air and maintains good C2H6/C2H4 separation performance under high humidity. Gas loaded single crystal structure and density-functional theory (DFT) calculations revealed that the weakly polarized carborane and DABCO within ZNU-10 induce more specific C-Hδ+⋯Hδ--B dihydrogen bonds and other van der Waals interactions with C2H6, while the suitable pore space allows the high C2H6 uptake. Approximately 14.5 L kg-1 of polymer grade C2H4 can be produced from simulated C2H6/C2H4 (v/v 10/90) mixtures under ambient conditions in a single step, comparable to those of many popular materials.

Abstract
Ethylene (C2H4) purification and propylene (C3H6) recovery are highly relevant in polymer synthesis, yet developing physisorbents for these industrial separation faces the challenges of merging easy scalability, economic feasibility, high moisture stability with great separation efficiency. Herein, we reported a robust and scalable MOF (MAC-4) for simultaneous recovery of C3H6 and C2H4. Through creating nonpolar pores decorated by accessible N/O sites, MAC-4 displays top-tier uptakes and selectivities for C2H6 and C3H6 over C2H4 at ambient conditions. Molecular modelling combined with infrared spectroscopy revealed that C2H6 and C3H6 molecules were trapped in the framework with stronger contacts relative to C2H4. Breakthrough experiments demonstrated exceptional separation performance for binary C2H6/C2H4 and C3H6/C2H4 as well as ternary C3H6/C2H6/C2H4 mixtures, simultaneously affording record productivities of 27.4 and 36.2 L kg-1 for high-purity C2H4 (≥99.9 %) and C3H6 (≥99.5 %). MAC-4 was facilely prepared at deckgram-scale under reflux condition within 3 hours, making it as a smart MOF to address challenging gas separations.

Abstract
Removal and recovery of methyl chloride (CH3Cl) from exhaust gas of organic silicon industry is highly important from the perspective of environment and economy. For the first time, a tailor-made microporous coordination polymer (Mn-BDC-TPA) was synthesized and applied to the efficient capture and recovery of CH3Cl from related gas mixtures. The high adsorption capacity of CH3Cl (163.4 cm3/g) and high adsorption selectivity of CH3Cl over other impurity gases (1965 for N2, 65 for CH4, and 16 for C2H6) were achieved at 298 K and 100 kPa due to the dual-cage pore system and larger polarizability of CH3Cl. Dynamic breakthrough experiments demonstrate the excellent CH3Cl recovery performance (capacity of >98 cm3/g and purity of >95%) in one adsorption-desorption cycle from the CH3Cl-involved binary, ternary, or quaternary gas mixture.

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
Recently, examples of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been identified displaying ethane (C2H6) over ethylene (C2H4) adsorption selectivity. However, it remains a challenge to construct MOFs with both large C2H6 adsorption capacity and high C2H6/C2H4 adsorption selectivity, especially under humid conditions. Herein, we reported two isoreticular MOF-5 analogues (JNU-6 and JNU-6-CH3) and their potential applications in one-step separation of C2H4 from C2H6/C2H4 mixtures. The introduction of CH3 groups not only reduces the pore size from 5.4 Å in JNU-6 to 4.1 Å in JNU-6-CH3 but also renders an increased electron density on the pyrazolate N atoms of the organic linker. JNU-6-CH3 retains its framework integrity even after being immersed in water for six months. More importantly, it exhibits large C2H6 adsorption capacity (4.63 mmol g-1) and high C2H6/C2H4 adsorption selectivity (1.67) due to the optimized pore size and surface function. Breakthrough experiments on JNU-6-CH3 demonstrate that C2H4 can be directly separated from C2H6/C2H4 (50/50, v/v) mixtures, affording benchmark productivity of 22.06 and 18.71 L kg-1 of high-purity C2H4 (≥99.95%) under dry and humid conditions, respectively.

Abstract
Herein, a 2-fold interpenetrated metal-organic framework (MOF) Zn-BPZ-TATB with accessible N/O active sites in nonpolar pore surfaces was reported for one-step C2 H4 purification from C2 H6 or C3 H6 mixtures as well as recovery of C3 H6 from C2 H6 /C3 H6 /C2 H4 mixtures. The MOF exhibits the favorable C2 H6 and C3 H6 uptakes (>100 cm3 g-1 at 298 K under 100 kPa) as well as selective adsorption of C2 H6 and C3 H6 over C2 H4 . The C3 H6 - and C2 H6 -selective feature were investigated detailedly by experimental tests as well as sorption kinetic studyies. Molecular modelling revealed the multiple interactions between C3 H6 or C2 H6 molecules and methyl groups as well as triazine rings in pores. Zn-BPZ-TATB not only can directly generate 323.4 L kg-1 and 15.4 L kg-1 of high-purity (≥99.9 %) C2 H4 from C3 H6 /C2 H4 and C2 H6 /C2 H4 mixtures, but also provide a large high-purity (≥99.5 %) C3 H6 recovery capacity of 60.1 L kg-1 from C3 H6 /C2 H4 mixtures. More importantly, the high-purity C3 H6 (≥99.5 %) and C2 H4 (≥99.9 %) with the productivities of 38.2 and 12.7 L kg-1 can be simultaneously obtained from C2 H6 /C3 H6 /C2 H4 mixtures through a single adsorption/desorption cycle.

Abstract
A highly stable thiazole functionalized covalent triazine framework, namely CTF-BT-500, was developed for C2H6/C2H4 separation, which exhibits a record-high ethane uptake (99.7 cm3 g-1) among all reported COFs at 298 K and 1 bar. This work not only presents an excellent C2H6-selective adsorbent, but also provides guidance for the construction of robust adsorbents for value-added gas purification.

Abstract
A series of Al-based isomorphs (CAU-10H, MIL-160, KMF-1, and CAU-10pydc) were synthesized using isophthalic acid (ipa), 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (fdc), 2,5-pyrrole dicarboxylic acid (pyrdc), and 3,5-pyridinedicarboxylic acid (pydc), respectively. These isomorphs were systematically investigated to identify the best adsorbent for effectively separating C2H6/C2H4. All CAU-10 isomorphs exhibited preferential adsorption of C2H6 over that of C2H4 in mixture. CAU-10pydc exhibited the best C2H6/C2H4 selectivity (1.68) and the highest C2H6 uptake (3.97 mmol g-1) at 298 K and 1 bar. In the breakthrough experiment using CAU-10pydc, 1/1 (v/v) and 1/15 (v/v) C2H6/C2H4 gas mixtures were successfully separated into high-purity C2H4 (>99.95%), with remarkable productivities of 14.0 LSTP kg-1 and 32.0 LSTP kg-1, respectively, at 298 K. Molecular simulations revealed that the exceptional separation performance of CAU-10pydc originated from the increased porosity and reduced electron density of the pyridine ring of pydc, leading to a relatively larger decrease in π-π interactions with C2H4 than in the C-H···π interactions with C2H6. This study demonstrates that the pore size and geometry of the CAU-10 platform are modulated by the inclusion of heteroatom-containing benzene dicarboxylate or heterocyclic rings of dicarboxylate-based organic linkers, thereby fine-tuning the C2H6/C2H4 separation ability. CAU-10pydc was determined to be an optimum adsorbent for this challenging separation.

Abstract
The pore dimension and surface property directly dictate the transport of guests, endowing diverse gas selective adsorptions to porous materials. It is highly relevant to construct metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with designable functional groups that can achieve feasible pore regulation to improve their separation performances. However, the role of functionalization in different positions or degrees within framework on the separation of light hydrocarbon has rarely been emphasized. In this context, four isoreticular MOFs (TKL-104-107) bearing dissimilar fluorination are rationally screened out and afforded intriguing differences in the adsorption behavior of C2 H6 and C2 H4 . Ortho-fluoridation of carboxyl allows TKL-105-107 to exhibit enhanced structural stabilities, impressive C2 H6 adsorption capacities (>125 cm3 g-1 ) and desirable inverse selectivities (C2 H6 over C2 H4 ). The more modified ortho-fluorine group and meta-fluorine group of carboxyl have improved the C2 H6 /C2 H4 selectivity and adsorption capacity, respectively, and the C2 H6 /C2 H4 separation potential can be well optimized via linker fine-fluorination. Meanwhile, dynamic breakthrough experiments proved that TKL-105-107 can be used as highly efficient C2 H6 -selective adsorbents for C2 H4 purification. This work highlights that the purposeful functionalization of pore surfaces facilitates the assembly of highly efficient MOF adsorbents for specific gas separation.

Abstract
Two C2 H6 -selective metal-organic framework (MOF) adsorbents with ultrahigh stability, high surface areas, and suitable pore size have been designed and synthesized for one-step separation of ethane/ethylene (C2 H6 /C2 H4 ) under humid conditions to produce polymer-grade pure C2 H4 . Experimental results reveal that these two MOFs not only adsorb a high amount of C2 H6 but also display good C2 H6 /C2 H4 selectivity verified by fixed bed column breakthrough experiments. Most importantly, the good water stability and hydrophobic pore environments make these two MOFs capable of efficiently separating C2 H6 /C2 H4 under humid conditions, exhibiting the benchmark performance among all reported adsorbents for separation of C2 H6 /C2 H4 under humid conditions. Moreover, the affinity sites and their static adsorption energies were successfully revealed by single crystal data and computation studies. Adsorbents described in this work can be used to address major chemical industrial challenges.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks have been widely studied in the separation of C2 hydrocarbons, which usually preferentially bind unsaturated hydrocarbons with the order of acetylene (C2 H2 )>ethylene (C2 H4 )>ethane (C2 H6 ). Herein, we report an ultramicroporous fluorinated metal-organic framework Zn-FBA (H2 FBA=4,4'-(hexafluoroisopropylidene)bis(benzoic acid)), shows a reversed adsorption order characteristic for C2 hydrocarbons, that the uptake for C2 hydrocarbons of the framework and the binding affinity between the guest molecule and the framework follows the order C2 H6 >C2 H4 >C2 H2 . Density-functional theory calculations confirm that the completely reversed adsorption order behavior is attributed to the close van der Waals interactions and multiple cooperative C-H⋅⋅⋅F hydrogen bonds between the framework and C2 H6 . Moreover, Zn-FBA exhibits a high selectivity of about 2.9 for C2 H6 over C2 H4 at 298 K and 1 bar. The experimental breakthrough studies show that the high-purity C2 H4 can be obtained from C2 H6 and C2 H4 mixtures in one step.

Abstract
Developing cost-/energy-efficient separation techniques for purifying ethylene from an ethylene/ethane mixture is highly important but very challenging in the industrial process. Herein, using a bottom-up [8 + 2] construction approach, we rationally designed and synthesized three three-dimensional covalent organic frameworks (COFs) with 8-connected bcu networks, which can selectively remove ethane from an ethylene/ethane mixture with high efficiency. These COF materials, which are fabricated by the condensation reaction of a customer-designed octatopic aldehyde monomer with linear diamino linkers, possess high crystallinity, good structural robustness, and high porosity. Attributed to the well-organized micro-sized pores with a nonpolar/inert pore environment, these COFs display high ethane adsorption capacity and good selectivity over ethylene, making them among the best ethane-selective adsorbents for ethylene purification. Their excellent ethylene/ethane separation performance is validated by dynamic breakthrough experiments with high-purity ethylene (>99.99%) produced through a single adsorption process. The separation performance surpasses all reported C2H6-selective COFs and even some benchmark metal-organic frameworks. This work provides important guidance for the design of new adsorbents for value-added gas purification.

Abstract
The preferential capture of ethane (C2H6) over ethylene (C2H4) presents a very cost-effective and energy-saving means applied to adsorptive separation and purification of C2H4 with a high product purity, which is however challenged by low selectivity originating from their similar molecular sizes and physical properties. Substituent engineering has been widely employed for selectivity regulation and improvement, but its effect on C2H6/C2H4 separation has been rarely explored to date. In this work, four isoreticular coordination framework compounds based on 5-(pyridin-3-yl)isophthalate ligands bearing different substituents were rationally constructed. As revealed by isotherm measurements, thermodynamic studies, and IAST computations, they exhibited promising utility for C2H6/C2H4 separation with moderate adsorption heat and a high uptake amount at a relatively low-pressure domain. Furthermore, the C2H6/C2H4 separation potential can be finely tuned and optimized via purposeful substituent alteration. Most remarkably, functionalization with a nonpolar methyl group yielded an improved separation efficiency compared to its parent compound. This work offers a good reference value for enhancing the C2H6/C2H4 separation efficiency of MOFs by engineering the pore microenvironment and dimensions via substituent manipulation.

Abstract
Controlling the growth of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) at the micro-/nanoscopic scale will result in new physical properties and novel functions into the materials without changing the chemical identities and the characteristic features of the MOFs themselves. Herein, we report a facile approach to synthesize a series of MOFs [Co-MOF, CoxNiy-MOFs (x and y represent the molar ratio of Co2+ and Ni2+ and x/y = 1:1, 1:5, 1:10, 1:15, and 1:20), and Ni-MOF] with a one-dimensional micro-/nanoscaled rod-like architecture. From Co-MOF to CoxNiy-MOFs to Ni-MOF, the diameters of the rods turn to be spindly with the increase of Ni2+ content which will facilitate the supercapacitor performances. Interestingly, Co1Ni20-MOF exhibits a highest specific capacity of 597 F g-1 at 0.5 A g-1 and excellent cycle performance (retained 93.59% after 4000 cycles) among these MOF materials owing to its micro-/nanorod structure with a smaller diameter and the synergy effect between the optimum molar ratio of Co2+ and Ni2+.
