“…) − have been designated to increase the selectivity with the targeted sorbate molecules. Among them, incorporating an open metal site (OMS) into metal–organic frameworks can provide the strong binding sites for for specific recognition of target molecules, which are promising for catalysis, sensing, and separations. − The OMS as a ubiquitous feature in MOFs, seen as strong binding sites, has made great progress in the field of gas separation, including alkene/alkane, ,,, C 2 H 2 /CO 2 , − and CO 2 /CH 4 , − etc.…”
