The interactions with ethylene from both OMS and [small pi]-complexation in MIL-101-Cr-SO3Ag have been investigated by in situ IR spectroscopic studies and computational calculations{,} which suggest that [small pi]-complexation contributes dominantly to the high ethylene-ethane adsorption selectivity."}
