The removal of trace amounts of octafluorocyclobutane ( c -C 4 F 8 ) impurities from C 3 F 8 products remains a challenging endeavor due to their similar physiochemical properties. Herein, an organofluorination engineering strategy is reported to regulate the local microenvironment of zeolite Y for efficient c -C 4 F 8 /C 3 F 8 adsorptive separation. The organofluorinated zeolite Y adsorbents exhibit enhanced c -C 4 F 8 /C 3 F 8 separation efficiency compared to pristine zeolite, with remarkably greater uptakes of c -C 4 F 8 and lower uptakes of C 3 F 8 . Notably, sample ZnY-FU achieves an ultrahigh c -C 4 F 8 /C 3 F 8 selectivity of 1.7´10 10 at 1 bar and 25 °C. Multiple characterizations and theoretical calculations reveal that the local microenvironment of zeolite Y can be regulated with the fluorinated ligands located at FAU supercages close to the pore entrance. The introduction of fluorinated ligands mainly affects the thermodynamic adsorption behaviors of c -C 4 F 8 and C 3 F 8 on the adsorbents, resulting in highly efficient c -C 4 F 8 /C 3 F 8 separation. Dynamic breakthrough experiments further verify the c -C 4 F 8 /C 3 F 8 separation potentials with ultrahigh-purity C 3 F 8 (99.999%) obtained from c -C 4 F 8 /C 3 F 8 (5: 95, v/v) mixtures.
