Unusual Chain-Length Dependence of the Diffusion of n-Alkanes in the Metal-Organic Framework MIL-47(V): The Blowgun Effect
Written by Hervé Jobic, Nilton Rosenbach Jr., Aziz Ghoufi, Daniil I. Kolokolov, Pascal. G. Yot, Thomas Devic, Christian Serre, Gérard Férey, Guillaume Maurin on July 26, 2010 – 10:06 am -Hootie and the blowgun effect: Quasi-elastic neutron scattering experiments and MD simulations have been coupled to deepen our understanding of the diffusion mechanism for short-length alkanes in the MIL-47(V) MOF-type material. All alkanes follow a 1D type diffusion, while a spectacular blowgun type diffusion has been evidenced for n-butane from a higher diffusivity at low loading of this alkane compared to propane.
