Developing efficient adsorbent materials is crucial for adsorption and separation to realize the purification of energy source and raw chemicals. Here, we report a novel and robust 3D In‐based MOF built up with fluorine‐functionalized ligands, QMOF‐2F, with improved separation properties of C2‐light hydrocarbons over methane at room temperature respect isoreticular non‐fluorinated MOF. QMOF‐2F shows a remarkable chemical stability in different solvents, including water, and pH (2–12). DFT calculations support the key role of fluorine‐functionalization on the improved performance of QMOF‐2F.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
