Water-resistant porous coordination polymers for gas separation

Porous coordination polymer (PCP) chemistry has a promising future because of the tunable structures and excellent properties of polymers. However, the strategy for designing and preparing water-resistant PCPs is a considerable challenge. This review surveys and investigates the factors governing water resistance in a hierarchy sequence. Subsequently, representative studies are provided with an emphasis on their adsorptive- and membrane-based gas separations. This review is intended to be useful for researchers who are interested in designing water-resistant PCPs and exploring promising applications for gas separation.
