Abstract:Separating n‐butene and i‐butene by adsorption is an energy‐efficient alternative, but designing porous adsorbents that distinguish the subtle differences between the isomers is extremely challenging. Currently, adsorbents that can sieve 1‐butene isomers and are stable enough to withstand humid gas mixtures are largely unmet. Herein, we propose a robust ultramicroporous metal–organic framework (MET‐Fe) that can separate 1‐butene isomers through molecular exclusion. The pore aperture size (4.6 Å) precisely matc… Show more
