Fluorine-mediated single-step ethylene purification in face-transitive metal-organic frameworks from binary to ternary gas mixtures.

ABSTRACT: Ethylene is a pivotal feedstock for the chemical industry. Obtaining polymer-grade ethylene in a single step from either binary ethane/ethylene or ternary acetylene/ethane/ethylene mixtures via porous adsorbents is highly energy-efficient yet remains a formidable challenge. Face-transitive topologies, a particular class of nets in reticular chemistry, possess only one window type and thus hold exceptional promise for discriminating between closely related C₂ hydrocarbons. Guided by the nia-d topology, we synthesized two isoreticular, trinuclear-manganese-cluster-based, ternary metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), namely nia-d-TZB and nia-d-FTZB, under solvothermal conditions using MnCl₂, the tritopic linker 2,4,6-tri(4-pyridyl)-1,3,5-triazine (
