Efficient separation of xylene isomers by a guest-responsive metal–organic framework with rotational anionic sites

The separation of xylene isomers remains a great challenge in industry due to their similar molecular structure and physical properties. Here the authors demonstrate adaptively molecular discrimination of xylene isomers by employing a NbOF5 2−-pillared metal–organic framework with rotational anionic...
