Abstract:
We reported herein a new 3D bio-MOF (NbU-12) using a pore space partition strategy: MIL-88D was selected as a primary framework, and adenine connected two independent MIL-88D to form a self-interpenetrated structure. Because of this, the hexagonal channel in MIL-88D split into two small rectangular channels. Different from the reported series CPM-35 materials, NbU-12 simultaneously maximized the retention of open metal sites from MIL-88D and introduced a Watson-Crick face to the pore surface of NbU-12. Remarkably, NbU-12 exhibits an excellent selectivity performance toward C2H6/C2H4 and C2H6/CH4, which was proven by ideal adsorbed solution theory calculation and breakthrough experiments.

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...
