Abstract: Embodiments include selective adsorbents having a structure of Formula (I) where a connection to X represents a connection to a structure of Formula (II), and a connection to Y represents a connection to a structure of Formula (III), where each R1 is independently selected from the group consisting of fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine, and each R2 is independently selected from the group consisting of a hydrogen, an alkyl, an aryl, and a trisubstitutedsilyl group.

Abstract: Metal-organic framework (MOF) materials are provided and are selectively adsorbent to xenon (Xe) over another noble gas such as krypton (Kr) and/or argon (Ar) as a result of having framework voids (pores) sized to this end. MOF materials having pores that are capable of accommodating a Xe atom but have a small enough pore size to receive no more than one Xe atom are desired to preferentially adsorb Xe over Kr in a multi-component (Xe—Kr mixture) adsorption method. The MOF material has 20% or more, preferably 40% or more, of the total pore volume in a pore size range of 0.45-0.75 nm which can selectively adsorb Xe over Kr in a multi-component Xe—Kr mixture over a pressure range of 0.01 to 1.0 MPa.
