Highly selective molecular sieving of <i>cis</i>- over <i>trans</i>-1,2-dichloroethene isomers
Xin Liu, Lukman O. Alimi, Niveen M. Khashab
Abstract
-DCE mixture with a purity of over 96%. The selectivity is enhanced by host/guest C-H⋯π intermolecular interactions. Moreover, the macrocycle can be reused many times without any decrease in performance, which further supports the sustainability of using molecular sieves in chemical separation.
