A π-electron deficient diaminotriazine functionalized MOF for selective sorption of benzene over cyclohexane

Abstract

A diaminotriazine functionalized novel MOF (DAT-MOF-1) has been synthesized stemming out of a π-electron-deficient pore-surface functionalization based linker-design principle, which results in efficient selectivity of benzene sorption over its aliphatic analogue cyclohexane, crucial from the industrial standpoint.
