A flexible and robust microporous copper(II) metal-organic framework (MOF) based on a methyl-functionalized ligand, namely, [Cu(μ-OH)(L)(DMF)] (LIFM-ZZ-1; L = 2,2'-dimethyl-4,4'-biphenyldicarboxylic acid and DMF = ,-dimethylformamide), was constructed. Its sorption performance for the separation of CH, CH, and CH was investigated. LIFM-ZZ-1 showed a breathing behavior that led to a transition between large- and narrow-pore states. The sample also showed outstanding water stability. Gas adsorption experiments revealed that desolvated LIFM-ZZ-1 exhibited higher adsorption capacities for CH and CH (2.80 and 4.06 mmol·g) than for CH (0.39 mmol·g) at 298 K and 1 bar. Breakthrough experiments showed that a CH/CH/CH mixture was completely separated at 298 K, demonstrating the promising potential applications of this material for separating low contents of C2/C3 hydrocarbons from natural gas.

In this study, we report the syntheses, crystal structures and magnetic properties of ternary copper(II) coordination compounds with l-homoserine (l-Hhser) and 1,10-phenanthroline (phen). Six new coordination compounds were obtained: [Cu(l-hser)(HO)(phen)]SO·5HO (), [Cu(μ-l-hser)(HO)(phen)][Cu(l-hser)(HO)(phen)](SO)∙12HO (), {[Cu(μ-l-hser)(HO)(phen)][Cu(μ-l-hser)(phen)]SO·6HO} (), {[Cu(μ-l-hser)(HO)(phen)]SO·3HO} (), [Cu(l-hser)(HO)(phen)][Cu(l-hser)(CHOH)(phen)]SO·4HO () and {[Cu(l-hser)(CHOH)(phen)][Cu(μ-l-hser)(phen)]SO·5CHOH} () It was shown that slight differences in water content in the synthetic mixtures highly influence the final product, so in some cases, two or three different products were obtained. The compounds were characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and ESR spectroscopy.

The novel [Cuphen(VBA)HO] complex (phen: phenanthroline, VBA: vinylbenzoate) was prepared and used as a functional monomer to preorganize a new ion-imprinted polymer (IIP). By leaching the Cu(II) from the molecular imprinted polymer (MIP), [Cuphen(VBA)HO--EGDMA] (EGDMA: ethylene glycol dimethacrylate), the IIP was obtained. A non-ion-imprinted polymer (NIIP) was also prepared.

The efficient separation of acetylene (CH) from its mixture with carbon dioxide (CO) remains a challenging industrial process due to their close molecular sizes/shapes and similar physical properties. Herein, we report a microporous metal-organic framework (JNU-4) with square-planar mononuclear copper(ii) centers as nodes and tetrahedral organic linkers as spacers, allowing for two accessible binding sites per metal center for CH molecules. Consequently, JNU-4 exhibits excellent CH adsorption capacity, particularly at 298 K and 0.
