Abstract

A new hybrid ultramicroporous material, [Ni- (1,4-di(pyridine-2-yl)benzene)2(Cr2O77)]n (DICRO-4-Ni-i), has been prepared and structurally characterized. Pure gas sorption isotherms and molecular modeling of sorbate- sorbent interactions imply strong selectivity for C2H2 over CO2 (SAC). Dynamic gas breakthrough coupled with temperature- programmed desorption experiments were conducted on DICRO-4-Ni-i and two other porous materials reported to exhibit high SAC, TIFSIX-2-Cu-i and MIL-100(Fe), using a C2H2/CO2/He (10:5:85) gas mixture. Whereas CO2/C2H2 coadsorption by MIL-100(Fe) mitigated the purity of trapped C2H2, negligible coadsorption and high SAC were observed for DICRO-4-Ni-i and TIFSIX-2-Cu-i.
