A Robust Yttrium-Based Metal–Organic Framework for Selective Adsorption of C<sub>2</sub>H<sub>2</sub> and C<sub>2</sub>H<sub>6</sub> over C<sub>2</sub>H<sub>4</sub>
The efficient separation of C2 hydrocarbons (C2H6, C2H4, and C2H2) represents a critical challenge in the chemical industry. Developing adsorbents that are capable of achieving efficient one-step separation of ternary C2 hydrocarbons remains a significant hurdle. Herein, we report a Y-based metal–organic framework (MOF), Y(BTAC) (denoted as HIAM-319, H3BTAC = 3,3′,3′’-(1,3,5-benzenetriyl)trisacrylic acid, featuring one-dimensional (1D) channels. HIAM-319 exhibited robust structure and preferential adsorption of C2H2 and C2H6 over C2H4. Dynamic breakthrough experiments further validated its separation capability for C2 hydrocarbons.
