Separation of light hydrocarbons is a crucial industrial procedure that comprises a significant share of the total global energy consumption annually. Adsorptive separations using porous organic frameworks (POFs) have received intensive attention due to their lower energy costs and higher efficiency. The Minireview by L. Jiang, H. Ren et al. on page 3205 ff., gives a summary of the recent progress in the use of POFs for light hydrocarbon separations and highlights the relationships between the structural features of these materials and their separation performances.
