Helium (He) is one of the indispensable and rare strategic materials for national defense and high-tech industries. However, daunting challenges have to be overcome for the supply shortage of He resources. Benefitted from the wide pore size distribution, sufficient intrinsic porosity, and high specific surface area, metal–organic framework (MOF) materials are prospective candidates for He purification in the membrane-based separation technology. In this work, through first-principles calculations and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, we studied the permeability and filtration performance of He by the newly synthesized two-dimensional Fe-PTC MOF and its analogue Ni-PTC MOF. We found that both Fe-PTC and Ni-PTC have superior high performance for He separation. The selectivity of He over N2 was calculated to be ~1017 for Fe-PTC and ~1015 for Ni-PTC, respectively, both higher than most of the previously proposed 2D porous membranes. Meanwhile, high He permeance (10−4~10−3 mol s−1 m−2 Pa−1) can be obtained for the Fe/Ni-PTC MOF for temperatures ranging from 200 to 500 K. Therefore, the present study offers a highly prospective membrane for He separation, which has great potential in industrial application.

The compound [Cd(4,4'-bpy)2(H2O)2](ClO4)2·(L)2 was obtained by the reaction of Cd(ClO4)2, bis(1-pyrazinylethylidene)hydrazine (L) and 4,4'-bipyridine in aqueous MeOH. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction has revealed its two-dimensional metal-organic framework. The 2-D layers superpose on each other, giving a channel structure. The square planar grids consist of two pairs of shared edges with Cd(II) ion and a 4,4'-bipyridine molecule each vertex and side, respectively. The square cavity has a dimension of 11.817 × 11.781 Å. Two guest molecules of bis(1-pyrazinylethylidene)hydrazine are clathrated in every hydrophobic host cavity, being further stabilized by π-π stacking and hydrogen bonding. The results suggest that the hydrazine molecules present in the network serve as structure-directing templates in the formation of crystal structures.
