Metal-organic framework (MOF) membranes show great promise for propene/propane separation, yet a sharp molecular sieving has not been achieved due to their inherent linker mobility. Here, zeolitic imidazolate framework ZIF-8–type membranes with suppressed linker mobility are prepared by a fast current–driven synthesis (FCDS) strategy within 20 min, showing sharpened molecular sieving for propene/propane separation with a separation factor above 300. During membrane synthesis, the direct current promotes the metal ions and ligands to assemble into inborn-distorted and stiffer frameworks with ZIF-8_Cm (a newly discovered polymorph of ZIF-8) accounting for 60 to 70% of the membrane composition. Molecular dynamics simulations further verify that ZIF-8_Cm is superior to ZIF-8_I 4¯3m (the common cubic phase) for propene/propane separation. FCDS holds great potential to produce high-quality, ultrathin MOF membranes on a large scale.

By combining mechanochemical synthesis and calorimetry with theoretical calculations, we demonstrate that dispersion-corrected periodic density functional theory (DFT) can accurately survey the topological landscape and predict relative energies of polymorphs for a previously inaccessible fluorine-substituted zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF). Experimental screening confirmed two out of three theoretically anticipated polymorphs, and the calorimetric measurements provided an excellent match to theoretically calculated energetic difference between them.<br>
