Abstract

Perturbation arguments are used to derive an approximate formula for partition coefficients of non-axisymmetric Y-shaped molecules in circular cylindrical pores. Quantitative accuracy thereof is verified by comparison with Monte Carlo calculations for star-shaped solutes. Results are used to calculate macroscopically observable partition coefficients in polydispersed porous materials, and implications for solute shape-selective separations are discussed.
