The industrial separation of xylene isomers is a challenge due to their similarity in size, shape, density, boiling point, and polarity. Xylene isomers have been separated using zero-dimensionally porous crystals composed of a Cu-based metallocycle, with selectivity in the order p-xylene ≫ m-xylene > o-xylene. The selectivity trend follows that of increasing kinetic diameters of the xylenes. Crystallographic
