Alkane-length sorting using activated pillar[5]arene crystals

Abstract

We report a simple and easy-to-operate method for separating n-alkanes: when we immersed activated pillar[5]arene crystals into a mixture of n-alkanes with various chain lengths, the crystals preferentially took up n-alkanes with longer chain lengths.
