Led by scientists at the University of Manchester, a series of new stable, porous materials that capture and separate benzene have been developed. Benzene is a volatile organic compound (VOC) and is an important feedstock for the production of many fine chemicals, including cyclohexane. But it also poses a serious health threat to humans when it escapes into the air and is thus regarded as an important air pollutant.
