Separation of acetylene (C2H2) from ethylene (C2H4) and carbon dioxide (CO2) is of great importance in the petrochemical industry but remains a daunting challenge due to their very similar sizes and physical properties. Although a number of porous materials have been developed as promising adsorbents for either C2H2/C2H4 or C2H2/CO2 separation, few materials exhibit simultaneously high selectivities for both gas mixtures. Herein, we report the use of a four-connected N-donor organic linker to construct a novel water-stable SIFSIX-type material, [Cu(TPB)SiF6](n) (termed ZJU-280, TPB = 1,2,4,5-tetra(pyridin-4-yl)benzene). This material features suitable rhombic pores and functional surfaces to interact optimally with C2H2 molecules, affording high C2H2 capture capacity and simultaneously high C2H2/CO2 (18.1) and C2H2/C2H4 (44.5) selectivities under ambient conditions. Theoretical calculations indicate that the suitable rhombic pores and functional sites can provide a multipoint binding environment to not only preferentially interact with C2H2 but also enable the dense packing of C2H2 molecules within the framework. Actual breakthrough experiments demonstrate that ZJU-280a can efficiently separate C2H2 from C2H2/CO2 (50/50, v/v) and C2H2/C2H4 (1/99 and 50/50) mixtures, respectively.
