Benzene hydrogenation is an important industrial process. The reaction is incomplete, resulting in a mixture of benzene, cyclohexane, and/or cyclohexene that have to be separated before any further reactions. The currently used extractive and azeotropic distillations are operationally complex and energy intensive. Adsorptive separation provides an alternative energy-efficient method. However, the separation of the ternary mixture by adsorptive separation has not yet been reported. In the present research, we report two macrocyclic hosts with hydrogen-bonding sites in their cavities that are able to separate the ternary mixture of benzene, cyclohexene, and cyclohexane. NÀH•••p interactions were found to play a key role in the selective separation. In addition, fast adsorption, high loading ratios, and easy recycling are achieved with the present system, which is promising for practical applications.

A photosensitizing covalent metal–organic framework (CMOF) was prepared as a tandem reaction catalyst by Guo‐Hong Ning, Dan Li, and co‐workers in their Research Article (e202306497). By combining Cu‐CTUs as metal‐catalytic sites and Bodipy linkers as photosensitizers, this CMOF can catalyze terminal alkenes and alkynes to produce primary alcohols via one‐pot tandem reactions with excellent regioselectivity, good overall yields for two‐step reactions, broad substrate compatibility and good reusability under mild conditions.
