Robust Two-Dimensional Hydrogen-Bonded Organic Framework for Efficient Separation of C1-C3 Alkanes.

ABSTRACT: Separating natural gas to obtain high-quality C1-C3 alkanes is an imperative process for supplying clean energy sources and high valued petrochemical feedstocks. However, developing adsorbents which can efficiently distinguish CH₄, C₂H₆, and C₃H₈ molecules remains challenging. We herein report an ultra-stable layered hydrogen-bonded framework (HOF-NBDA), which features differential affinities and adsorption capacities for CH₄, C₂H₆, and C₃H₈ molecules, respectively. Breakthrough experiments on ternary component gas mixture show that HOF-NBDA can achieve efficient separation of CH₄/C₂H₆/C₃H₈ (v/v/v, 85/7.5/7.5). More importantly
