Scientists have made a breakthrough in chemical separation. The new chemical separations using porous solids mostly rely on size selection, meaning that compounds too large to squeeze through the pores are excluded. The work by the research group describes a class of ionic solids that can selectively capture certain fluorocarbons dynamically.
