Manipulation of materials exhibiting step-shaped isotherms using simple and scalable methods is key to realizing their utility in advanced separation schemes. To this end, we have discovered EMM-36, a hybrid isostructural to ZIF-7 material in the sodalite topology prepared from industrially scalable...
