Abstract

The pore space partition (PSP) approach has been employed to realize a novel porous MOF (FJU-90) with dual functionalities for the challenging C2H2/CO2 separation under ambient conditions. By virtue of a triangular ligand (Tripp = 2,4,6-tris(4-pyridyl)pyridine), the cylindrical channels in the original FJU-88 have been partitioned into uniformly interconnected pore cavities, leading to the dramatically reduced pore apertures from 12.0 × 9.4 to 5.4 × 5.1 Å2. Narrowing down the pore sizes, the resulting activated FJU-90a takes up a very large amount of C2H2 (180 cm3 g–1) but much less of CO2 (103 cm3 g–1) at 298 K and 1 bar, demonstrating it to be the best porous MOF material for this C2H2/CO2 (50%:50%)…
