Molecularly-porous ultrathin membranes for highly selective organic solvent nanofiltration

Engineering thin membranes for molecular separation with well tailored nanoporosity and which can withstand harsh conditions is still a big challenge. Here, the authors introduce a trianglamine macrocycle as a molecular building block for cross-linked membranes, prepared by facile interfacial polyme...
