Abstract

Abstract : Physical separations can be superior to chemical separations when it comes to energetics and kinetics, especially when ideal sieving is feasible among hard‐to‐separate gas mixtures. Unfortunately, for industrial gases a very precise pore window size, which must be ultramicroporous, is needed for ideal sieving. In their Research Article on page 16188, Y. Huang, M. J. Zaworotko, and co‐workers describe a new variant of Ca‐trimesate that offers just the right pore size (0.31 nm) to enable ideal sieving of H2 from CO2, two of the primary components of syngas.
