Ionic clusters as high-connectivity secondary building units for crystalline porous organic salts

Abstract The solid-state assembly of crystalline porous materials is dictated by a balance between primary node–linker interactions and other weaker intermolecular forces. Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) exploit highly directional and rigid coordination bonds that outweigh compet...

Water‐stable imidazole‐based ionic liquid‐functionalized metal–organic framework for efficient C 2 H 2 / CO 2 separation

Abstract Efficiently sieving C 2 H 2 from CO 2 remains a significant challenge due to their similar molecular sizes and physical properties. To address this issue, we developed a novel strategy for selectively sieving C 2 H 2 from CO 2 by functionalizing metal–organic frameworks...
