Abstract
The energy-efficient separation of alkane isomers for gasoline upgrading using Bi-based metal-organic frameworks with auxetic reentrant pore structures is reported by Dan Zhao et al. in their Communication (e202211808). The honeycomb-like pore cavities connected by narrow pore windows of the pore structure lead to a complete rejection of di-branched alkanes and to high capacities for other isomers.
