Abstract
Since its first industrial production in 1890s, acetylene has played a vital role in manufacturing a wide spectrum of materials. Although current methods and infrastructures for various segments of acetylene industries are well-established, with emerging functional porous materials that enabled desired selectivity toward target molecules, it is of timely interest to develop new efficient technologies to promote safer acetylene processes with a higher energy efficiency and lower carbon footprint. In this Minireview, we, from the perspective of materials chemistry, review state-of-the-art examples of advanced porous materials, namely metal-organic frameworks and decorated zeolites, that have been applied to the purification and storage of acetylene. We also discuss the challenges on the roadmap of translational research in the development of new solid sorbent-based separation technologies and highlight areas which require future research efforts.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are potential porous adsorbents for benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylene (BTEX). A novel MOF, using low toxic aluminum (Al) as the metal, named as ZJU-620(Al), with uniform micropore size of 8.37±0.73 Å and specific surface area of 1347 m2 g-1 , was synthesized. It is constructed by one-dimensional rod-shaped AlO6 clusters, formate ligands and 4,4',4''-(2,4,6-trimethylbenzene-1,3,5-triyl) tribenzoic ligands. ZJU-620(Al) exhibits excellent chemical-thermal stability and adsorption for trace BTEX, e.g., benzene adsorption of 3.80 mmol g-1 at P/P0 =0.01 and 298 K, which is the largest one reported. Using Grand Canonical Monte Carlo simulations and Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses, it was observed that the excellent adsorption could be attributed to the high affinity of BTEX molecules in ZJU-620(Al) micropores because the kinetic diameters of BTEX are close up to the pore size of ZJU-620(Al).

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
Considering the importance of C2H2 in industry, it is of great significance to develop porous materials for efficient C2H2/CO2 separation. Besides the high selectivity, the C2H2 adsorption capacity is another vital factor in C2H2/CO2 separation. However, the "trade-off" between these two factors is still perplexing. Rational pore design of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) has been proven to be an effective way to solve the above problem. In this work, we have appropriately combined three kinds of strategies in the design of the MOF (FJI-H33), i.e., the introduction of open metal sites, construction of cage-like cavities, and adjustment of moderate pore size. As anticipated, FJI-H33 exhibits both outstanding C2H2 adsorption capacity and high C2H2/CO2 selectivity. At 298 K and 100 kPa, the C2H2 storage capacity of FJI-H33 is 154 cm3/g, while the CO2 uptake is only 80 cm3/g. The ideal adsorbed solution theory (IAST) selectivity of C2H2/CO2 (50:50) is calculated as high as 15.5 at 298 K. More importantly, the excellent practical separation performance was verified by breakthrough experiments. In addition, the calculation of adsorption sites and relevant energy by density functional theory (DFT) provides a good explanation for the excellent separation performance and pore design strategy.
