Abstract:
An unsaturated Mn(II)-centered metal-organic framework was synthesized. The presence of an unsaturated Mn(II) center, together with a guest-responsive structural changing feature, plays a crucial role for strong binding with water, leading to its potential application for water/ethanol separation. In addition, the present framework is thermally stable up to 400 °C, which is beneficial for the regeneration process after adsorption.

States of Water
Water freezes when the intermolecular forces are greater than the kinetic energy. Unlike most other substances, water is less dense in its solid state than in its liquid state. This is because each water molecule can form...
