An MOF-Based Single-Molecule Propylene Nanotrap for Benchmark Propylene Capture from Ethylene.

ABSTRACT: Highly selective capture and separation of propylene (C₃H₆) from ethylene (C₂H₄) presents one of the most crucial processes to obtain pure C₂H₄ in the petrochemical industry. The separation performance of current physisorbents is commonly limited by insufficient C₃H₆ binding affinity, resulting in poor low-pressure C₃H₆ uptakes or inadequate C₃H₆/C₂H₄ selectivities. Herein, we realize a unique single-molecule C₃H₆ nanotrap in an ultramicroporous MOF material (Co(pyz)[Pd(CN)₄], ZJU-74a-Pd), exhibiting the benchmark C₃H₆ capture capacity at low-pressure regions. This MOF-based nanotrap
