Molecular Clamp-Engineered Pillar-Layered MOF for Purification of Methane.
The pillar-layered Metal-Organic Framework (MOF) material NTUniv-75, featuring embedded arrays of melamine-based molecular clamps as pillars, enhances the spatial utilization of the framework and selectively targets ethane (C2H6) and propane (C3H8), thereby achieving record-breaking methane (CH4) purification (>99.99% purity, 14.5 mmol g-1) from CH4/C2H6/C3H8 gas mixtures at 298 K.
期刊介绍:
Inorganic Chemistry publishes fundamental studies in all phases of inorganic chemistry. Coverage includes experimental and theoretical reports on quantitative studies of structure and thermodynamics, kinetics, mechanisms of inorganic reactions, bioinorganic chemistry, and relevant aspects of organometallic chemistry, solid-state phenomena, and chemical bonding theory. Emphasis is placed on the synthesis, structure, thermodynamics, reactivity, spectroscopy, and bonding properties of significant new and known compounds.
