Fine-Tuning the Pore Environment of the Microporous Cu-MOF for High Propylene Storage and Efficient Separation of Light Hydrocarbons.

ABSTRACT: Ethylene (C₂H₄) and propylene (C₃H₆) are important energy sources and raw materials in the chemical industry. Storage and separation of C₂H₄ and C₃H₆ are vital to their practical application. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) having adjustable structures and pore environments are promising candidates for C₃H₆/C₂H₄ separation. Herein, we obtained a Cu-based MOF synthesized by H₃TTCA and pyrazine ligands. By adding different functional groups on the ligands within the MOFs, their pore environments are adjusted, and thus, the C₃H₆ storage capacity and C₃H₆/C₂H₄ separation efficiency are im
