The chromium terephthalate metal–organic framework, MIL-101 (MIL, Matérial Institut
Lavoisier), is comprised of trimeric chromium (III) octahedral clusters interconnected by 1, 4 …

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been one of the most intensely studied family of
hybrid porous crystalline materials for decades, whose potential applications cover almost …

In this research, we investigated the sorptive behavior of a mixture of 14 volatile and semi-
volatile organic compounds (four aromatic hydrocarbons (benzene, toluene, p-xylene, and …

Purification of the C8 aromatics (xylenes and ethylbenzene) is particularly challenging
because of their similar physical properties. It is also relevant because of their industrial …

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are a class of porous materials, in which inorganic
secondary building units are stitched together by organic linkers via strong coordinated …
