Abstract

Abstract : The utilization of terephthalate ligands with long alkyl chains resulted in the isolation of the first examples of Zr 4+ terephthalate MOFs with 6-c frameworks, showing selective As(III/V) sorption and oil–water separation capability. Abstract : The use of terephthalate ligands with C n H2 n +1 NH-chains ( n ≥ 6) led to the isolation of the first examples of Zr 4+ -terephthalate MOFs with 6-connected frameworks. The material with hexyl-amino functional groups has been proved to be an exceptional sorbent for the removal of As(iii /v ) toxic species from aqueous media, whereas MOFs with heptyl to dodecyl-amino moieties are superhydrophobic with promising oil–water separation properties.
