Hydrocarbon separation is one of the most critically important and complex industrial
separation processes, offering versatile bulk chemicals and vital support to the national …

Flexi-MOFs are typically limited to low-connected (< 9) frameworks. Here we report a
platform-wide approach capable of creating a family of high-connected materials …

The separation of hydrocarbons is of primary importance in the petrochemical industry but
remains a challenging process. Hydrocarbon separations have traditionally relied …

In the past two decades, reticular chemistry has developed into a powerful tool for the design
and synthesis of porous, crystalline framework materials. The discovery of the first …

Pore space partition (PSP) concept is a synthetic design concept and can also serve as a
