TL;DR: A crystal engineering or reticular chemistry strategy that controls pore functionality and size in a series of MOMs with coordinately saturated metal centres and periodically arrayed hexafluorosilicate anions enables a ‘sweet spot’ of kinetics and thermodynamics that offers high volumetric uptake at low CO2 partial pressure (less than 0.15 bar).

TL;DR: In this article, two hybrid ultramicroporous materials (HUMs), known as SIFSIX-3-Ni and TIFS6-2-Cu-i, were proposed to remove CO 2 impurities from C 2 H 2 -containing gas mixtures.

TL;DR: Two ultramicroporous metal-organic framework physisorbents, NKMOF-1-M (M=Cu or Ni), offer high hydrolytic stability and benchmark selectivity towards acetylene versus several gases at ambient temperature, and possesses the highest selectivities yet reported for C2 H2 /CO2 and C2H2 /CH4.

TL;DR: The strategy demonstrated herein is the design and synthesis of an organic ligand that behaves as a buffer to drastically boost the aqueous stability of a porous MOF (JUC-1000), which maintains its structural integrity at low and high pH values.

TL;DR: A synergistic sorbent separation method for the one-step production of polymer-grade C2H4 from ternary or quaternary gas mixtures with a series of physisorbents in a packed-bed geometry is introduced.
