We acknowledge support from the DOE-EFRC for Gas
Separations Relevant to Clean Energy Technologies under
Award Number DE-SC0001015 (R.H., C.Z., B.H., T.X.); Army
Research Office under Contract No. W91NF-09-1-0374
(R.vdW., C.L., T.X.). R.H. thanks FQRNT (Quꢀebec, Canada)
for a postdoctoral fellowship. S.K. and L.R. acknowledge a super-
computing grant from Northwestern University Quest HPC
system and support from CEE & ME departments. Portions of
this work (e.g., synthesis of γ-Mba-OH, CPs, and spectroscopic
characterization) were performed as a User project at the Molec-
ular Foundry, funded by the DOE under Contract No. DE-AC02-
05CH11231. We thank H. Dong for the TEM measurements
and J. Pelton for help and discussions about the NMR studies.
