Separation of CO2 from gas mixtures is a major application focus for porous materials. Now it has been shown that fluorinated non-porous crystalline materials can uptake CO2 via mobile perfluoroalkyl regions, a process resembling the dissolution of CO2 in perfluoroalkanes, while CH4 uptake is hindered. In situ X-ray diffraction data provide insight into the sorption process.
