Molecular Clamp-Engineered Pillar-Layered MOF for Purification of Methane
The pillar-layered Metal-Organic Framework (MOF) material <b>NTUniv-75</b>, featuring embedded arrays of melamine-based molecular clamps as pillars, enhances the spatial utilization of the framework and selectively targets ethane (C<sub>2</sub>H<sub>6</sub>) and propane (C<sub>3</sub>H<sub>8</sub>), thereby achieving record-breaking methane (CH<sub>4</sub>) purification (>99.99% purity, 14.5 mmol g<sup>-1</sup>) from CH<sub>4</sub>/C<sub>2</sub>H<sub>6</sub>/C<sub>3</sub>H<sub>8</sub> gas mixtures at 298 K.
