Efficient selective adsorption and separation using porous frameworks are critical in many industrial processes, where adsorption energy and dynamic diffusion rate are predominant factors governing selectivity. They are highly susceptible to framework charge, which plays a significant role in selective adsorption. Currently, ionic porous frameworks can be divided into two types. One of them is composed of a charged backbone and counter ions. The framework with zwitterionic channels is another type. It is composed of regular and alternating arrangements of cationic and anionic building units. Herein, we report a hydrogen-bonded ionic framework (HIF) of {(CN₃H₆)₂[Ti(μ₂O)(SO₄)₂]}_n with 1D channel exhibits unique adsorption selectivity for Ar against N₂ and CO₂. Density functional theory (DFT) results suggest that CO₂ cannot be adsorbed by HIF at the experimental temperature due to a positive adsorption free energy. In addition, due to a relatively large diffusion barrier at 77 K, N₂ molecules hardly diffuse in HIF channels, while Ar has a negligible diffusion barrier. The unique net positively-charged space in the channel is the key to the unusual phenomena, based on DFT simulations and structural analysis. The findings in this work proposes the new adsorption mechanism and provides unique perspective for special separation applications, such as isotope and noble gasses separations.
