Gas exclusion zones in Type II porous liquids

uptake compared to its neat solvent, supporting the assertion that the exclusion zone is at least in part due to exclusion of gas from the framework of the host. Overall, the work provides a more sophisticated understanding of gas solubility in Type II PLs and suggests some additional design considerations for achieving high solubility for a given gas. It also shows that, as well as being able to increase the solubility of certain gases PLs can also conceivably be designed to suppress the solubility of gases under some conditions, which could be useful in tuning selective dissolution.
