A novel molecular crystal membrane [Cu(II)2(9-AC)4(pyz)]n (9-AC: 9-anthracenecarboxylate, pyz: pyrazine) shows high permselectivity for H2/CO (79.0), H2/CH4 (137), and H2/CO2 (12.1) due to the high rate of H2 permeation (3820 Barrer) while inhibiting the permeation of such a large gaseous particle even in its wider channel than the Lennard-Jones diameter of each gas.
