Abstract
π-Complexation triggered Lewis acid-base interactions between open metal sites (OMS) of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), and π-e(-) rich adsorptive benzene (Bz) is exploited to establish M-MOF-74 as the best Bz-selective MOF sorbent, marking the first report of utilizing OMS behind benzene/cyclohexane separation; a key advance from the energy-economy standpoint of industrial separation.
