The adsorption of short linear alkanes has been explored in the highly flexible MIL-53(Cr) porous metal–organic framework by means of molecular simulations based on configurational bias grand canonical Monte Carlo. The unusual shape of the adsorption isotherms with the existence of steps has been successfully modelled by creating a (narrow pore, large pore) phase mixture domain, the composition of which varies with pressure. A further step consisted of combining our computational approach with several experimental tools including microcalorimetry, gravimetry and in situ X-ray diffraction, to fully characterize the adsorption behaviour of the isostructural MIL-47(V) rigid MOF, i.e. the preferential arrangement of each type of alkane inside the pores and the resulting interaction energy. Finally, relationships are established between the adsorption enthalpies and both alkyl chain length and polarisability of the alkanes that can be further utilised to predict the energetics of the adsorption process for longer alkane chains.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
