Abstract

). Computational studies attribute the selectivity to confinement-enhanced van der Waals interactions and electrostatic alignment at the porphyrin-Zn interface and methyl-decorated channels. This work establishes a topology-driven pore engineering strategy for PMOFs, advancing the design of next-generation adsorbents for challenging gas separations.
