Abstract:
Two flexible interpenetrating metal-organic frameworks (JLU-MOF155 and JLU-MOF166) with dia topology were successfully constructed based on Zn5 clusters and tetracarboxylic organic ligands. Benefiting from their interpenetrating structures, JLU-MOF155 and JLU-MOF166 exhibit breathing behaviors in the adsorption-desorption of several gases and good separation ability for C2H2/CO2 (50/50) or CO2/CH4 (50/50) mixtures. In breakthrough tests of JLU-MOF166, the breakthrough time interval for CH4 and CO2 in the 50/50 mixture of gas is approximately 24 min, demonstrating its potential for CO2/CH4 gas separation. This provides valuable insights into designing MOF-based materials targeted at broader gas separation applications.

Mechanism of Breathing II: Expiration
Expiration, or exhaling, is a complex physiological process that begins as the inspiratory muscles begin to relax. This relaxation triggers a series of events that epitomize the efficiency of the respiratory system.
