MIL-100(Fe, Cr) and MIL-101(Cr) were synthesized by the hydrothermal method and applied to the adsorptions of five aromatic amines from aqueous solutions. These three metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) were well characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and surface area analysis. The adsorption mechanism of three MOFs and the effects of the structures of MOFs on the adsorption of aromatic amines were discussed. The results show that the cavity system and suitable hydrogen bond acceptor were important factors for the adsorption for five aromatic amines of aniline, 1-naphthalamine, o-toluidine, 2-amino-4-nitrotoluene and 2-nitroaniline: (a) the saturated adsorption capacity of aniline, 1-naphthylamine and o-toluidine on MIL-100(Fe) were 52.0, 53.4 and 49.6 mg/g, respectively, which can be attributed to the intermolecular hydrogen bond interaction and cavity system diffusion. (b) The adsorption capacity of 2-nitroaniline and 2-amino-4-nitrotoluene on MIL-101(Cr) were 54.3 and 25.0 mg/g, respectively, which can be attributed to the more suitable pore size of MIL-101(Cr) than that of MIL-100(Fe, Cr). The MOFs of MIL-100(Fe) and MIL-101(Cr) can be potential materials for removing aromatic amines from aqueous solutions.

The ability to remove toxic heavy metals, such as Pb(II), from the environment is an important objective from both human-health and ecological perspectives. Herein, we describe the fabrication of a novel carboxymethylcellulose-coated metal organic material (MOF-5–CMC) adsorbent that removed lead ions from aqueous solutions. The adsorption material was characterized by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffractometry, scanning electron microscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. We studied the functions of the contact time, pH, the original concentration of the Pb(II) solution, and adsorption temperature on adsorption capacity. MOF-5–CMC beads exhibit good adsorption performance; the maximum adsorption capacity obtained from the Langmuir isotherm-model is 322.58 mg/g, and the adsorption equilibrium was reached in 120 min at a concentration of 300 mg/L. The adsorption kinetics is well described by pseudo-second-order kinetics, and the adsorption equilibrium data are well fitted to the Langmuir isotherm model (R2 = 0.988). Thermodynamics experiments indicate that the adsorption process is both spontaneous and endothermic. In addition, the adsorbent is reusable. We conclude that MOF-5–CMC is a good adsorbent that can be used to remove Pb(II) from aqueous solutions.

A variety of metal organic frameworks (MOFs) were synthesized and evaluated for their iodine adsorption capacity. Out of the MOFs tested, ZIF-8 showed the most promising result with an iodine vapor uptake of 876.6 mg/g. ZIF-8 was then incorporated into a polymer, polyethersulfone (PES), at different proportions to prepare mixed matrix membranes (MMMs), which were then used to perform further iodine adsorption experiments. With a mixing ratio of 40 wt % of ZIF-8, the iodine adsorption capacity reached 1387.6 mg/g, wherein an astounding 60% improvement in adsorption was seen with the MMMs prepared compared to the original ZIF-8 powder.

The theoretically optimal adsorption locations in hydroxyl (OH)-decorated metal–organic frameworks show that the captured CO2 molecules interact with the cis-μ2-OH groups in an end-on mode, which shows a moderate to weak hydrogen bond.

The most important environmental challenge that the world is facing today is the control of the quantity of CO2 in the atmosphere, because it causes global warming. Increase in the global temperature results in greenhouse gas emission, interruption of the volcanic activity, and climatic changes. The alarming rise of the CO2 level impels to take some serious action to control these climatic changes. Various techniques are being utilized to capture CO2. However, chemical absorption and adsorption are supposed to be the most suitable techniques for post-combustion CO2 capture, but the main focus is on adsorption. The aim of this study is to provide a brief overview on the CO2 adsorption by a novel class of adsorbents called the metal–organic framework. The metal–organic framework is a porous material having high surface area with high CO2 adsorption capacity. The metal–organic frameworks possess dynamic structure and have large capacity to adsorb CO2 at either low pressure or high pressure due to its cavity size and surface area. Adsorption of CO2 in the metal–organic framework at various pressures depends upon pore volume and heat of adsorption correspondingly. In this review, different synthesis methods of the metal–organic framework such as slow evaporation, solvo thermal, mechanochemical, electrochemical, sonochemical, and microwave-assisted synthesis are briefly described as the structure of the metal–organic frameworks are mostly dependent upon synthesis techniques. In addition to this, different strategies are discussed to increase the CO2 adsorption capacity in the metal organic-framework. [Formula: see text]

To explore the effects of a co-ligand on the construction of mixed-ligand metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), two new triazole-based complexes with a flexible dicarboxylate as a co-ligand, {[Zn4(trz)4(gt)2(H2O)2](H2O)2}n 1 and {[Cd2(trz)2(gt)(H2O)2](H2O)4}n 2 (Htrz = 1,2,4-triazole; H2gt = glutaric acid), were synthesized and their structures were fully characterized by elemental analyses, IR spectroscopy, and single-crystal X-ray crystallography. Their thermal stability and luminescence emissions were further investigated to establish their structure–property relationship. Crystal structure determination showed that 1 is a neutral two-dimensional pillared-bilayer network consisting of 14-membered hydrophobic channels, whereas 2 is an infinite three-dimensional framework constructed from tetranuclear [Cd4(trz)4]4+ subunits. Interestingly, the overall structure of both MOFs can be solely supported by ZnII/CdII and trz anions, and were further consolidated by the introduction of a flexible gt co-ligand. In addition, the carboxylate groups in the co-ligand can also serve as a weak O–H···O hydrogen-bond acceptor to capture guest water molecules. The synchronous weight-loss behaviour of trz and gt anions presented by thermogravometric curves suggest their cooperative contributions to the thermal stability of the MOFs. In contrast, the fluorescence emissions of two complexes are significantly dominated by the core trz ligand, rather than the gt co-ligand and metal ions.
