A Hydrolytically Stable Cu(II)-Based Metal-Organic Framework with Easily Accessible Ligands for Water Harvesting.

Water scarcity is a critical issue in desert and arid regions, and atmospheric water harvesting is a potential solution. The challenge is lacking ideal adsorbents that can efficiently capture water from low-humidity air and be regenerated readily. Herein, we report a hydrolytically stable metal-organic framework (MOF), [Cu(AD)(SA)] (Cu-AD-SA), with excellent performance in water harvesting.
