Abstract

Finned hierarchical MOF particles (Cu(BDC) nanosheets as fins grown perpendicularly on Ni₂(BDC)₂(DABCO) hexagonal prisms) were synthesized on modified cellulose support. The hierarchical MOF particles exposed the open Cu(II) sites on Cu(BDC) to enable selective 1-hexene/n-hexane separation.
