TL;DR: It is found that a metal-organic framework containing iron-peroxo sites bound ethane more strongly than ethylene and could be used to separate the gases at ambient conditions and demonstrate the potential of Fe2(O2)(dobdc) for this important industrial separation with a low energy cost under ambient conditions.

TL;DR: An ultramicroporous metal–organic framework, synthesized from calcium nitrate and squaric acid, that possesses rigid one-dimensional channels that separates ethylene from ethane but almost completely excludes ethane under ambient conditions is reported.

TL;DR: ZIF-8 and ZIF-67 have generally been synthesized by using DMF as an organic solvent that ultimately fills the pore space, however, the guest molecule DMF is actually larger than the aperture of the sod cage, and could not be directly released, so solvent-free (melting) synthesis or hydrothermal synthesis, have significant potential for the development of effective and environmentally benign routes.

TL;DR: The zeolite ZSM-5 has been synthesized from amorphous aluminosilicate gels in a vapour of ethylenediamine, triethylamine, and water and characterized by XRD and chemical analysis as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: This paper reports the first example of metal-organic frameworks of flexible-robust nature for the efficient separation of propyne/propylene mixtures, and the purity of the obtained propylene is over 99.9998%, as demonstrated by experimental breakthrough curves for a 1/99 propyne-propylene mixture.
