Selective adsorption of fluorinated super greenhouse gases within a metal-organic framework with dynamic corrugated ultramicropores.

Perfluorocompound (PFC) gases play vital roles in microelectronics processing. Requirements for ultra-high purities traditionally necessitate use of virgin sources and thereby hinder the capture, purification, and reuse of these costly gases. Most importantly, gaseous PFCs are incredibly potent greenhouse gases with atmospheric lifetimes on the order of 10-10 years, and thus any environmental emissions have an outsized and prolonged impact on our climate.
