要旨

Three metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) with similar pore window diameters, [Cu3(BTC)2], MIL-47 and MIL-53(Al), are tested for adsorption of olefins, alkylnaphthalenes and dichlorobenzenes in the liquid phase. Selective adsorption of olefins is possible only on [Cu3(BTC)2] viaπ-complexation on its open metal sites. This material shows a remarkable preference for cis-olefins over trans-olefins. All three MOFs have high affinities for alkylnaphthalene and dichlorobenzene isomers. Separation of 1,4-dimethylnaphthalene from other alkylnaphthalene isomers and of p- and m-dichlorobenzene can be carried out on both MIL-47 and MIL-53(Al), as shown with breakthrough experiments. For the alkylnaphthalenes, column experiments at different concentrations point to enthalpic interactions as important factors determining selectivity, and the occurrence of steric effects during the adsorption of 1,4-dimethylnaphthalene shows that its kinetic diameter approaches the pore diameter of the adsorbents. For the dichlorobenzenes, packing effects dominate the adsorption selectivity.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
