Flexible hydrogen-bonded organic framework to split ethane and ethylene

Hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks represent an emerging class of porous solids that hold strong promise for industrial-relevant molecular separations. We highlight in this preview an excellent example of this type of adsorbent material that demonstrates high performance in the separation of ethylene and ethane by tuning its gating pressure.
