Adsorptive separation of picoline isomers by adaptive calix[3]acridan crystals
He‐Ye Zhou, Chuan‐Feng Chen
Abstract
The exploration of macrocycle-based nonporous adaptive crystals (NACs) for adsorption and separation has been one of the hotspots in supramolecular chemistry and crystal engineering. Herein, we developed calix[3]acridan-based NACs to separate industrially important 4-picoline from its isomer mixtures with over 93.8% purity.
