Abstract
Molecular sieving typically occurs when molecules with smaller kinetic diameter than a nanopore selectively enter the pore. Here the authors show, using photoluminescence imaging and ab initio molecular dynamics simulations, that single-walled carbon nanotubes can separate n-hexane from cyclohexane, despite both having larger kinetic diameter than the nanopore.
