Role of Electrostatic Effects in the Pure Component and Binary Adsorption of Ethylene and Ethane in Cu-Tricarboxylate Metal-Organic Frameworks
The interaction of ethane and ethylene with a Cu-tricarboxylate complex was investigated, showing that at low loadings the lighter molecule has a higher binding energy as a result of interaction with framework Cu and H-bonding with basic framework oxygen atoms. This leads to the selective adsorption...
