Abstract:
Reported here is a versatile method capable of generating pore space partition in zeolitic boron imidazolate frameworks (BIFs), which is based on the coexistence of presynthesized boron imidazolate complexes and charge balancing carboxylate ligands. Using this method, boron imidazolate complexes are used to form zeolitic nets, while the carboxylate serves to partition large channel spaces into multiple domains. The generality of this method is shown by two distinct boron imidazolate frameworks mimicking GIS (BIF-41) and ABW (BIF-42) zeotype topologies. BIF-41 shows high selectivity sorption of CO2 over N2.

01:17Pore Transport and Ion-Pair Transport
Pore transport, also known as convective transport, is a process where small molecules like urea, water, and sugars rapidly cross cell membranes as though there were channels or pores in the membrane. Although direct microscopic evidence is limited but the concept of pores or channels is widely accepted based on physiological evidence. Despite the lack of direct...

Most monatomic ions behave as charged spheres, and their attraction for ions of opposite charge is the same in every direction. Consequently, stable structures for ionic compounds result (1) when ions of one charge are surrounded by as many ions as possible of the opposite...
