Abstract
The separation of butanes and butenes using MOF-74 (with two reticular MOFs with different pore sizes, Ni-IRMOF-74-I and Ni-IRMOF-74-II) was evaluated computationally using density functional theory. We identified that C4 alkene versus alkane selectivity stems from π-d chemical interactions, whereas selectivity differences among butenes stem from steric implications.
