A Fluorinated Zirconium Metal-Organic Cage-Based Supramolecular Framework for Efficient Separation of Methanolto-Olefins (MTO) Products

Key Points

• The aim is to develop a framework that efficiently separates ethylene and propylene in the MTO process.
• Synthesis of a fluorinated zirconium metal-organic cage, NUT-107
• Characterization of porosity and structural integrity
• Evaluation of separation efficiency for C2H4 and C3H6
• Achieved permanent porosity in NUT-107
• Demonstrated effective separation of C2H4 and C3H6
• Showed improved selectivity compared to existing materials
