Efficient ethylene purification by a robust ethane-trapping porous organic cage

Efficient ethylene purification by a robust ethane-trapping porous organic cage

The removal of ethane from ethylene is of importance in the petrochemical industry, but similar physicochemical properties of these molecules makes separation a challenging task. Here, the authors demonstrate that a robust octahedral calix[4]resorcinarene-based porous organic cage can separate high-...
