In this work, we demonstrate for the first time the introduction of π-complexation into a porous aromatic framework (PAF), affording significant increase in ethylene uptake capacity, as illustrated in the context of Ag­(I) ion functionalized PAF-1, PAF-1-SO3Ag. IAST calculations using single-compone...
