π-Quadrupole-driven gate-opening in ZIFs for selective VOC capture
Summary
Two functionalised zeolitic imidazolate frameworks, flexible ZIF-8_CH3 and rigid ZIF-8_Br, were compared for capturing benzene and hexafluorobenzene, molecules with opposite quadrupole moments. The flexible one adsorbs more (up to 7.3 mmol/g of hexafluorobenzene), the rigid one separates better (selectivity up to 17.1), and the molecules’ quadrupole appears to drive gate opening.
