Abstract

π-Complexation triggered Lewis acid–base interactions between Open Metal Sites (OMS) of Metal–organic Frameworks (MOFs) and π-e rich adsorptive Benzene (Bz) is exploited to establish M-MOF-74 as the best Bz-selective MOF sorbent, marking the first report of utilizing OMS behind benzene/cyclohexane separation; a key advance from the energy-economy standpoint of industrial separation.
