一步法纯化乙烯在工业生产中具有重要意义, 而多组分金属有机框架的可控构筑为C2烃类气体分离及甲醇制烯烃(MTO)产物提纯提供了富有前景的解决方案. 本文采用2,2'-联喹啉-4,4'-二甲酸(H2BQDC)与CuBr原位配位形成金属配体单元Cu(BQDC)2, 进而将其分别与ZrOCl2、Fe3O(OAc)6(H2O)3及Bi(NO3)3·9H2O通过溶剂热反应组装, 成功制备了三例结构明确的多组分金属有机框架材料: Zr-Cu-BQDC、Quat-Fe-Cu-BQDC和Quat-Bi-Cu-BQDC. 系统研究表明, 三种材料因其组成与孔道化学环境的差异, 分别对C2H2/C2H6/C2H4三元混合物和MTO典型组分C3H6/C2H4展现出优异的吸附选择性. 单组分气体吸附、理想吸附溶液理论(IAST)预测以及动态柱穿透实验共同验证了这些材料在常温常压下实现乙烯一步高效纯化的可行性. 本工作不仅发展了基于金属配体策略的多组分金属有机框架合成方法, 也为面向工业需求的烯烃分离材料设计提供了新思路.

One-step purification of ethylene is an important research topic in the petrochemical field, as it directly influences the energy consumption and economic efficiency of olefin production processes. In recent years, multicomponent metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), owing to their structural tunability and functional diversity, have demonstrated significant potential in C2 hydrocarbon gas separation and purification of products from methanol-to-olefins (MTO) processes. To address the limitations of conventional single-metal-center MOFs, which often suffer from structural simplicity and restricted functionality, this work proposes a controllable construction strategy for multicomponent MOFs based on the assembly of metal-ligand units. Specifically, 2,2′-biquinoline-4,4′-dicarboxylic acid (H2BQDC) was employed as the organic ligand and coordinated with CuBr via an in situ reaction to form the metal-ligand unit Cu(BQDC)2. Subsequently, solvothermal reactions with ZrOCl2, Fe3O(OAc)6(H2O)3, and Bi(NO3)3·9H2O successfully yielded three structurally well-defined multicomponent MOF materials: Zr-Cu-BQDC, Quat-Fe-Cu-BQDC, and Quat-Bi-Cu-BQDC. Comprehensive structural characterization and gas adsorption measurements reveal that the introduction of different metal centers leads to significant variations in pore size, coordination environment, and surface chemical properties, which in turn result in distinct adsorption and separation behaviors. Among them, Zr-Cu-BQDC and Quat-Fe-Cu-BQDC exhibit preferential adsorption toward C2H2 and C2H6, enabling one-step separation of high-purity C2H4 from ternary C2H2/C2H6/C2H4 mixtures. In contrast, Quat-Bi-Cu-BQDC shows stronger affinity for C3H6 and demonstrates effective separation performance for C3H6/C2H4 mixtures typically found in MTO products. The feasibility of achieving efficient one-step ethylene purification under ambient conditions was validated through single-component gas adsorption measurements, ideal adsorbed solution theory (IAST) predictions, and dynamic breakthrough experiments. This work not only develops an efficient synthesis strategy for multicomponent MOFs based on metal-ligand units and enriches the preparation pathways of multicomponent MOFs, but also provides new insights and theoretical guidance for the rational design of olefin separation materials tailored for practical industrial applications, highlighting both significant academic value and promising industrial potential.
