A functional MOF with an azobenzene side group, UiO-68-azo, was fabricated into a continuous membrane. The enhanced permselectivity was controllable through UV/vis light treatment of the adsorption/desorption of β-CD on the membrane surface.

A novel photo-switchable Cu(AzDC)(4,4′-BPE)0.5 membrane was developed with the H2/CO2 separation factor being switched reversibly between 21.3 and 43.7 after irradiation with Vis light (455 nm) and UV (365 nm).

Molecular sieving metal-organic framework (MOF) membranes have great potential for energy-efficient chemical separations, but a major hurdle is the lack of a scalable and inexpensive membrane fabrication mechanism. We describe a route for processing MOF membranes in polymeric hollow fibers, combining a two-solvent interfacial approach for positional control over membrane formation (at inner and outer surfaces, or in the bulk, of the fibers), a microfluidic approach to replenishment or recycling of reactants, and an in situ module for membrane fabrication and permeation. We fabricated continuous molecular sieving ZIF-8 membranes in single and multiple poly(amide-imide) hollow fibers, with H2/C3H8 and C3H6/C3H8 separation factors as high as 370 and 12, respectively. We also demonstrate positional control of the ZIF-8 films and characterize the contributions of membrane defects and lumen bypass.

<p>In the present paper, a synthesis of MIL-101 by hydrothermal process was demonstrated. The obtained samples were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), transmission electron microscope (TEM), nitrogen adsorption/desorption isotherms at 77K, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The results showed that MIL-101 synthesized by optimal conditions exhibited high crystallinity and surface area. The obtained MIL-101 possesses high stability in water and several organic solvents.</p><p><strong>Keywords:</strong> MIL-101, hydrothermal synthesis, metal organic framework-101. </p>

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.

The substituted imidazolate-based MOF (SIM-1) easily forms a homogeneous layer at the surface of millimetric platinum-loaded alumina beads. This new core–shell SIM-1@Pt/Al2O3 catalyst shows the fine molecular sieving effect for the Pt-catalyzed hydrogenation of carbon–carbon double bonds.
