High-Capacity Sieving of C 3 F 6 and C 3 F 8 by a Copper-Based MOF with Interconnected Gourd-Shaped Channels

Key Points

• The aim is to achieve effective size-sieving separation of C3F6 and C3F8 using a copper-based metal-organic framework.
• Utilized a robust copper-based metal-organic framework called CuHTPO.
• Assessed the framework's performance in separating C3F6 from C3F8 through size-sieving.
• Examined the unique 'gourd'-shaped pore structure for its efficacy.
• Successfully separated C3F6 from C3F8, enhancing purification methods.
• Demonstrated high capacity for gas separation through unique pore architecture.
