Article summary:

1. This article discusses the potential of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and porous coordination polymers (PCPs) for gas separation, specifically for the challenging separation of acetylene (C2H2) from carbon dioxide (CO2) and ethylene (C2H4).

2. The authors discovered a novel SIFSIX-MOF, [Zn(dps)2(SiF6)] (dps = 4,4′-dipyridylsulfide; termed as UTSA-300), with multiple potential binding sites and a pore aperture size of about 3.3 Å.

3. UTSA-300a can have complete CO2 and C2H4 exclusion from the mixtures of C2H2/CO2 and C2H2/C2H4 under ambient conditions, which can serve as a superior porous adsorbent for the challenging separation of C2H2/CO2 and C2H2/C2H4.

Article analysis:

This article is generally reliable in its reporting on the potential of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and porous coordination polymers (PCPs) for gas separation, specifically for the challenging separation of acetylene (C2H2) from carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) and ethylene (C 2 H 4 ). The authors provide detailed information on their discovery of a novel SIFSIX-MOF, [Zn(dps) 2 (SiF 6 )] (dps = 4,4′-dipyridylsulfide; termed as UTSA-300), with multiple potential binding sites and a pore aperture size of about 3.3 Å. They also provide evidence to support their claim that UTSA-300a can have complete CO 2 and C 2 H 4 exclusion from the mixtures of C 2 H 2 /CO 2 and C 2 H 2 /C 2 H 4 under ambient conditions, which can serve as a superior porous adsorbent for the challenging separation of C 2 H 2 /CO 2 and C 2 H 2 /C 2 H 4 .

The article is well written with clear explanations throughout. It provides detailed information on the synthesis process used to create UTSA-300 as well as physical measurements taken to analyze it. The authors also provide evidence from direct crystallography results, molecular modeling studies, experimental breakthroughs, density functional theory calculations
