Topologically guided tuning of Zr-MOF pore structures for highly selective separation of C6 alkane isomers

The separation of C6 alkane isomers is crucial to the petroleum refining industry, but the distillation methods in place are energy intensive. Here, the authors design a series of topologically-guided zirconium-based metal-organic frameworks with optimized pore structures for efficient C6 alkane iso...
