Zn8(CH3COO)8-siloxane cluster-based metal-organic frameworks for inverse propylene/propane separation

Puntos clave

• The separation efficiency of the metal-organic frameworks exceeds previous methods for propylene and propane.
• Using adsorption methods, the Zn8(CH3COO)8-siloxane clusters showed a significant preference for propylene over propane.
• Experimental results indicate a strong potential for these frameworks to enhance gas separation techniques in industrial settings.
• Metal-organic frameworks like this may enable more efficient separation processes, with lasting effects on production efficiency.
