Article Abstract
The development of energy-saving technology for the efficient separation of olefin and paraffin is highly important for the chemical industry. Herein, we report a self-assembled Fe L capsule containing a hydrophobic cavity, which can be used to encapsulate and separate propylene/propane. The successful encapsulation of propylene and propane by the Fe L cage in a water solution was documented by NMR spectroscopy. The binding constants K for the Fe L cage toward propylene and propane were determined to be (5.0±0.1)×10 M and (2.1±0.7)×10 M in D O at 25 °C, respectively. Experiments and theoretical studies revealed that the cage exhibited multiple weak interactions with propylene and propane. The polymer-grade propylene (>99.5 %) can be obtained from a mixture of propylene and propane by using the Fe L cage as a separation material in a U-shaped glass tube. This work provides a new strategy for the separation of olefin/paraffin.

1,2,3-Trichloropropane (1,2,3-TCP) is a suspected human carcinogen and a persistent emerging contaminant in groundwater and drinking water. 1,2,3-TCP was historically used as a solvent for cleaning and maintenance, paint and varnish removal, and degreasing, but its sources also include chemical manufacturing processes and application of soil fumigants. The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) has established a state maximum contaminant level (MCL) of 0.

Supported chromia catalysts have been commercially used in propane dehydrogenation, which relies on Cr loading at weight fractions of up to 20 wt %. This leads to problems in managing spent catalysts with a high content of toxic chromium species. These catalysts also rapidly deactivate within 10-15 min, requiring frequent regeneration in each cycle.

Diradical-Pt complexes with -phenylenediamine ligands exhibit intense near-infrared (NIR) absorption, making them applicable as photothermal agents for cancer imaging and therapy. However, their NIR-absorbing properties can be deactivated by ligand exchange with cellular substances such as glutathione (GSH). To improve the kinetic stability of diradical-Pt complexes, we synthesized two novel tetradentate ligands, 4,4'-(ethane-1,2-diylbis(azanediyl))bis(3-aminobenzenesulfonate) (EABS) and 4,4'-(propane-1,3-diylbis(azanediyl))bis(3-aminobenzenesulfonate) (PABS), in which two 3,4-diaminobenzenesulfonate (DABS) units are connected by an ethylene or propylene linker, respectively.

The tailorable confinement of high-entropy nanoparticles (HE-NPs) within molecular sieves (HE-NPs@MSs), synergizing merits of cocktail effects and geometric polymorphs, holds potential for advancing heterogeneous catalysis. However, effective and universal synthesis affording size homogeneity and production scalability remains elusive. In this contribution, we present a versatile strategy for encapsulating ultrafine HE-NPs within diverse mesoporous/microporous MSs to enable the rational construction of HE-NPs@MS library.

Zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) is a promising material for CH/CH separation; however, its inherent linker flexibility compromises molecular sieving effect. To address this limitation, a novel ZIF-8, namely heterogeneous ZIF-8 (hZIF-8), is developed, consisting of nanocrystalline ZIF-8 phases with a minor amorphous polymer component introduced via in situ coordination. hZIF-8 is synthesized through a Lewis-acid-catalyzed cationic ring-opening polymerization of tetrahydrofuran (THF), generating polytetramethylene ether glycol (PTMEG) chains that competitively coordinate with zinc ions during ZIF-8 crystallization.
