The disposal of radioactive xenon and krypton generated by nuclear fission is essential for the zero emission of nuclear energy, while their efficient capture at low concentrations remains a daunting challenge. We present here a design philosophy for noble gas uptake by introducing the concept of the confinement-intensified multi-heavy-atom effect derived from the Lennard-Jones 12–6 potential, which is achieved by the construction of a previously unnoticed structural unit of a tetrahedral halogen cage arranged in a metal-organic framework (Cu(idc-I)). Record-high adsorption capacities of 128.58 and 20.83 cm 3 cm −3 for Xe and Kr, respectively, were achieved at 0.1 bar and ambient temperature, along with the highest Kr Henry coefficient (10.19 mmol cm −3 bar −1 ). The dense tandem-arrayed tetrahedral iodine cages, as powerful binding sites have been visualized by in situ single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies and theoretical simulations, endowing Cu(idc-I) with the ability to effectively capture trace Xe and Kr from mimic nuclear reprocessing off-gas.
