A Microporous Metal–Organic Framework for Efficient\nC<sub>2</sub>H<sub>2</sub>/CO<sub>2</sub> and C<sub>2</sub>H<sub>6</sub>/CH<sub>4</sub> Separation

Abstract

Owing\nto the critical industrial value, the applications of MOFs\nin the field of light hydrocarbon gases storage and separation have\nattracted increasing attention. In this work, a microporous material,\nwhich is composed of typical dicopper paddlewheels and diisophthalate\nligands, has been successfully synthesized. It exhibits good gas separation\nability for C<sub>2</sub>H<sub>2</sub>/CO<sub>2</sub> mixtures and\nC<sub>2</sub>H<sub>6</sub>/CH<sub>4</sub> mixtures, respectively.\nConfirmed by the breakthrough experiments, the separation time of\nC<sub>2</sub>H<sub>2</sub>/CO<sub>2</sub> mixtures (50/50) and C<sub>2</sub>H<sub>6</sub>/CH<sub>4</sub> mixtures (15/85) can reach up\nto 36 and 95 min/g, respectively (gas flow rate = 2 cm<sup>3</sup>/min).
