摘　　要：Polymers of intrinsic microporosity(PIMs),integrating unique microporous structure and solution-processability,are one class of the most promising membrane materials for energy-efficient gas separations.However,the micropores generated from inefficient chain packing often exhibit wide pore size distribution,making it very challenging to achieve efficient olefin/paraffin separations.Here,we propose a coordination-driven reconstruction(CDR)strategy,where metal ions are incorporated into amidoxime-functionalized PIM-1(AO-PIM)to in situ generate coordination crosslinking networks.By varying the type and content of metal ions,the resulting crosslinking structures can be optimized,and the molecular sieving capability of PIM membranes can be dramatically enhanced.Particularly,the introduction of alkali or alkaline earth metals renders more precise micropores contributing to superior C3H6/C3H8 separation performance.K+incorporated AO-PIM membranes exhibit a high ideal C3H6/C3H8 selectivity of 50,surpassing almost all the reported polymer membranes.Moreover,the coordination crosslinking structure significantly improves the membrane stability under higher pressure as well as the plasticization resistant performance.We envision that this straightforward and generic CDR strategy could potentially unlock the potentials of PIMs for olefin/paraffin separations and many other challenging gas separations.
