Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with HKUST-like tbo structures have been paid specific attention for gas sorption and separation because of their specific pore features. According to the geometric similarity of spirobifluorene and [Cu2(O2CR)4] paddlewheel secondary building units (Cu2 SBUs) in HKUST-1, we attempted to rationally construct a HKUST-like MOF by a substitution strategy. Using a judiciously designed octatopic carboxylate ligand, a copper-organic framework, JUC-220, was synthesized. The crystals of JUC-220 exhibited characteristic features in cubic with disorder, possibly due to the disorder substitution and high symmetry of tbo topology. Two related HKUST-like structure models were considered. Thanks to the suitable pore size and specific pore shapes, the adsorption selectivities of JUC-220 for C3H8/CH4 (5/85) and C2H6/CH4 (10/85) gas mixtures were as high as 736 and 46 respectively at 298 K and 1 bar. Specially, JUC-220 exhibited excellent trace adsorption performance of C3H8 and C2H6 as well as reverse adsorption behavior of C2H6/C2H4. Thus, JUC-220 serves as an example of HKUST-like MOF with disorder for light hydrocarbons separation and the implementation of substitution which can be used to explore more porous MOFs.
