3 1. Instruments 1-1. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) The FTIR spectra (KBr) were obtained using a SHIMADZU IRAffinity-1 Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometer X-ray diffraction (PXRD) The XRD measurements were carried out using SHIMADZU XRD-6000 X-ray diffractometer with Cu-Kα radiation, 40 kv, 30 ma and scanning rate of 0.3 o min -1 (2θ) Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) The samples (COF-300 powder, Zn 2 (bdc) 2 (dabco) powder and ZIF-8 powder) were put in an alumina pan followed by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) with SHIMADZU DTG-60 thermal analyzer at a heating rate of 10 o C min -1 to 900 o C in a dried air atmosphere. The air flow rate was 30 ml min Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and elemental mapping analysis Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and elemental mapping analysis were carried out with JEOS JSM 6700 scanning electron microscope Low pressure N 2 sorption measurements The low pressure N 2 sorption measurements were carried out with Micro Meritics Tristar II 3020 surface area and pore size analyzer. Firstly, the solvents (CH 3 OH, DMF etc.) in the pore were cleared followed by activation of the samples in dynamic vacuum at a certain S3

4 temperature overnight. After this, the samples were degassed at a certain temperature for 12 h. A sample (80 mg) and a nitrogen (99.999% purity) gas source were employed in the nitrogen sorption measurements at 77 K Low pressure H 2, CO 2 and CH 4 sorption measurements Firstly, samples (COF-300 powder, Zn 2 (bdc) 2 (dabco) powder and ZIF-8 powder) of known weight (80 mg) were placed in the sample tubes (weighed beforehand) that were then sealed to avoid the samples from coming in contact with air and moisture. After this, the samples were heated in the sample tubes in vacuum (at a pressure of 100 mtorr or less) and were then kept at a certain temperature and pressure less than 50 mtorr for a minimum of 10 h. The lowpressure H 2, CH 4, and CO 2 sorption measurements were carried out with Micromeritics Tristar II 3020 surface area and pore size analyzer. Post evacuation, the weight of the tubes holding the degassed samples was measured in pursuance of getting to know the mass of the evacuated samples. Ultra-high-purity grade H 2,CO 2 ( % purity), and CH 4 (99.99 % purity) gases were employed for the sorption measurements. The free space was measured with He ( % purity). The H 2 isotherms at 77 K were measured in a liquid nitrogen bath and H 2 isotherms at 87 K in a liquid argon bath. The CO 2 isotherms at 273 K were measured in an ice-water bath and CO 2 isotherms at 298 K in water bath. The CH 4 isotherms at 273 K were measured in an ice-water bath and CH 4 isotherms at 298 K in water bath. S4

5 1-7. Gas separation measurements In regard to the single gas measurements, He was used as the sweep gas and H 2, CO 2 and CH 4 were used as the feed gases. The flow rate of sweep gas was 150 ml min -1 and that of the feed gases were 50 ml min -1. The pressure at both sides of the membrane was maintained at 1 bar and the measurements were taken at room temperature. Concerning the mixed gas measurements, the feed flow rate for each gas in the 1:1 binary mixture was 50 ml min -1. The flow rate of the sweep gas (He) was 150 ml min -1. The pressure at both sides of the membrane was maintained at 1 bar and the measurements were taken at room temperature. α H /CO 2 2 y x H H 2 2 /y /x CO CO 2 2 p p H 2 CO 2 (S1) where H 2 / CO 2 is the separation factor of mixture H 2 /CO 2, x is the molar fraction in the retentate, y is the mole fraction in the permeate, p is the permeance. The permeance measurements were carried out in the 7890A Gas chromatograph. The permeance values ( p ) were converted to corresponding permeability values ( P ) using the formula: p t P (S2) mol m /( m s Pa) where p is the permeance (in mol m -2 s -1 Pa -1 ), P is the permeability and t is the thickness (in m ) of the membrane. 1 Barrer = mol m -1 s -1 Pa -1.
