Abstract

The separation of C2H4 and C3H6 is of great significance in the methanol-to-olefin (MTO) process. In this study, a fluorinated zirconium metal–organic cage-based supramolecular framework, NUT-107, with permanent porosity was developed. This material exhibits high C2H4/C3H6 separation efficiency owing to its suitable pores and binding sites.
