Developing high‐performance porous materials to separate ethane from ethylene is an important but challenging task in the chemical industry, given their similar sizes and physicochemical properties. Herein, a new type of ultra‐strong C2H6 nano‐trap, CuIn(3‐ain)4 is presented, which utilizes multiple...
