Hydrogen‐Bonded Metal–Nucleobase Frameworks for Efficient Separation of Xenon and Krypton

Xe/Kr separation is an industrially important but challenging process owing to their inert properties and low concentrations in the air. Energy-effective adsorption-based separation is a promising technology. Herein, two isostructural hydrogen-bonded metal-nucleobase frameworks (HOF-ZJU-201 and HOF-ZJU-202) are capable of separating Xe/Kr under ambient conditions and strike an excellent balance between capacity and selectivity. The Xe capacity of HOF-ZJU-201a reaches 3.01 mmol g
