A Zirconium-Organic Framework Constructed from Saddle-Shaped Tetratopic Carboxylate for High-Rate and -Efficiency Iodine Capture.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) exhibit strong potential for applications in molecular adsorption and separation because of their highly tunable structures and large specific surface areas and have also been used for iodine capture. However, most works on MOF-based iodine capture focus on the adsorption capacity while taking little consideration of the capture rate and efficiency. Herein, we report the design of a saddle-shaped tetratopic carboxylic acid containing four thiophene groups (H4COTTBA) and the synthesis of a 4,8-connected flu-type zirconium MOF (HIAM-4014) using this linker. HIAM-4014 exhibits highly efficient iodine capture. The large cagelike pore structure, OH- groups on the unsaturated Zr6 clusters, electron-rich nature of the thiophene group in the linker, and high surface area are all attributed to the tetrahedral geometry of H4COTTBA, which endows HIAM-4014 with a relatively high iodine adsorption capacity of 2.50 g/g within 2 h and an equilibrium adsorption capacity of 2.68 g/g after 5 h. Coupled with a high elution ratio and great recyclability, HIAM-4014 is a good candidate for the efficient removal of waste iodine.
