Amino-Functionalised Hybrid Ultramicroporous Materials that Enable Single-Step Ethylene Purification from a Ternary Mixture

Soumya Mukherjee et al.

Summary: Pyrazine-linked hybrid ultramicroporous materials show strong CO2 selectivity and outperform the first generation materials. The new aminopyrazine-linked materials exhibit reduced CO2 affinity but enhanced C2H2 affinity, enabling single-step production of polymer-grade ethylene from a ternary equimolar mixture. This performance is attributed to different binding sites in the new materials compared to the original SIFSIX-3-Zn.
