The adsorptive separation of C2H2 and CO2 via porous materials is nontrivial due to the close similarities of their boiling points and kinetic diameters. In this work, we describe a new flexible porous coordination polymer (PCP) [Mn­(bdc)­(dpe)] (H2bdc = 1,4-benzenedicarboxylic acid, dpe = 1,2-di­(4...
