Acetylene (C₂H₂) and ethylene (C₂H₄) both are important chemical raw materials and energy fuel gasses. But the effective removement of trace C₂H₂ from C₂H₄ and the purification of C₂H₂ from carbon dioxide (CO₂) are particularly challenging in the petrochemical industry. As a class of porous physical adsorbent, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have exhibited great success in separation and purification of light hydrocarbon gas. Herein, we rationally designed four novel MOFs by the strategy of pore space partition (PSP) via introducing triangular tri(pyridin-4-yl)-amine (TPA) into the 1D hexagonal channels of acs-type parent skeleton. By modulating the functional groups of linear dicarboxylate linkers for the parent skeleton, a series of isoreticular PSP-MOFs (SNNU-278−281) were successfully obtained. The synergistic effects of suitable pore size and Lewis basic functional groups make these MOFs ideal C₂H₂ adsorbents. The gas adsorption experimental results show that all MOFs have excellent C₂H₂ uptakes. Specially, SNNU-278 demonstrates a high C₂H₂ uptake of 149.7 cm³/g at 273 K and 1 atm. Meanwhile, SNNU-278−281 MOFs also show extremely great C₂H₂ separation from CO₂ and C₂H₄. The optimized SNNU-281 with high-density hydroxy groups exhibits extraordinary C₂H₂/CO₂ and C₂H₂/C₂H₄ dynamic breakthrough interval times up to 31 min/g and 17 min/g under 298 K and 1 bar.
