<div><p>Disordered metal–organic frameworks are emerging as an attractive class of functional materials, however their applications in gas storage and separation have yet to be fully explored. Here, we investigate gas adsorption in the topologically disordered Fe-BTC framework and its crystalline counterpart, MIL‑100. Despite their similar chemistry and local structure, they exhibit very different sorption behaviour towards a range of industrial gases, noble gases and hydrocarbons. Virial analysis reveals that Fe-BTC has enhanced interaction strength with guest molecules compared to MIL‑100. Most notably, we observe striking discrimination between the adsorption of C<sub>3</sub>H<sub>6</sub> and C<sub>3</sub>H<sub>8</sub> in Fe‑BTC, with over a twofold increase in the amount of C<sub>3</sub>H<sub>6</sub> being adsorbed than C<sub>3</sub>H<sub>8</sub>. Thermodynamic selectivity towards a range of industrially relevant binary mixtures is probed using ideal adsorbed solution theory (IAST). Together, this suggests the disordered material may possess powerful separation capabilities that are rare even amongst crystalline frameworks.</p></div>

Virtual screenings can accelerate and reduce the cost of discovering metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for their applications in gas storage, separation, and sensing. In molecular simulations of gas adsorption/diffusion in MOFs, the adsorbate-MOF electrostatic interaction is typically modeled by placing partial point charges on the atoms of the MOF. For the virtual screening of large libraries of MOFs, it is critical to develop computationally inexpensive methods to assign atomic partial charges to MOFs that accurately reproduce the electrostatic potential in their pores. Herein, we design and train a message passing neural network (MPNN) to predict the atomic partial charges on MOFs under a charge neutral constraint. A set of ca. 2,250 MOFs labeled with high-fidelity partial charges, derived from periodic electronic structure calculations, serves as training examples. In an end-to-end manner, from charge-labeled crystal graphs representing MOFs, our MPNN machine-learns features of the local bonding environments of the atoms and learns to predict partial atomic charges from these features. Our trained MPNN assigns high-fidelity partial point charges to MOFs with orders of magnitude lower computational cost than electronic structure calculations. To enhance the accuracy of virtual screenings of large libraries of MOFs for their adsorption-based applications, we make our trained MPNN model and MPNN-charge-assigned computation-ready, experimental MOF structures publicly available.<br>
