Results indicate that among the four materials, Cu-BTC not only shows the highest retention volume per gram(V_g=788 m L g^(-1), which is 1.8 times of activated carbon(436 m L g^(-1))) under flowing condition, but also can separate 350 ppm Xe from 35 ppm Kr mixture in air with a high Xe/Kr selectivity of 8.6 at room temperature and 200 k Pa, due to its suitable pore morphology, open metal sites, small side pockets in the framework. Moreover, the Cu-BTC also performs well on individual separation of Xe, Kr, CO_2 from five-component gas mixture(Xe:Kr:CO_2:Ar:N_2= 1:1:1:1:0.5, V/V) and has the longest retention time for Xe(20 min) in gas chromatographic separation, suggesting that it is a good candidate for potential applications as polymeric sieves.展开更多
