The cryogenic separation of noble gases is energy-intensive and expensive, especially when low concentrations are involved. Metal organic frameworks containing polarizing groups within their pore spaces are predicted to be efficient Xe/Kr solid state adsorbents but no experimental insights on the nature of the Xe-network interaction is available to date. Here we report a new microporous metal organic framework (designated SBU2) that is selective toward Xe over Kr at ambient conditions, with Xe/Kr selectivity of about 10 and Xe capacity of 37.1 wt% at 298 K. Results of single crystal diffraction show Xe selectivity may be attributed to the specific geometry of the pores, forming cages built with phenyl rings and enriched with polar -OH groups, both serving as strong adsorption sites for polarizable Xe gas. The Xe/Kr separation in SBU2 was investigated with experimental and computational breakthrough methods. These experiments showed that Xe broke through the column after 3 min, followed by Kr at 4.5 min after injection of gases mixture, which confirmed that SBU2 has a real practical potential for separating Xe from Kr. Computational calculations show that SBU2 capacity and adsorption selectivity is comparable to the best-performing unmodified MOFs such as Ni-MOF-74 or Co Formate.
