A silver(i) coordinated phenanthroline-based polymer with high ethylene/ethane adsorption selectivity†
Abstract
We report a non-porous silver(I) coordinated phenanthroline-based polymer, which exhibits a high ideal ethylene/ethane adsorption selectivity (15/1) and high ethylene uptake (5.0 mmol gā1) at ambient temperature and pressure. Both silver(I) coordination and polymer structures are important for the high uptake of ethylene.
