The adsorptive removal of tetracycline (TC) was studied with three types of zirconium-based metal-organic frameworks (Zr-MOFs), UiO-66, NU-1000 and MOF-525. The adsorption kinetics best fitted with the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and the adsorption equilibrium was rapidly reached within 40 min on UiO-66 and NU-1000, and 120 min on MOF-525. The adsorption isotherms best fitted with Sips model, and the maximum Sips adsorption capacities of TC on UiO-66, NU-1000 and MOF-525 were 145 mg·g, 356 mg·g and 807 mg·g respectively, which were much higher than common adsorbents. The X-ray photoelectron spectra measurements and the influence of pH suggested that the π-π interaction played a crucial role during the adsorption. Pore characteristics and topology of MOFs showed great effect on adsorption performance. The cages whose size match well with TC helped MOF-525 to get highest adsorption amount per surface area among MOFs we studied. The proper topology of NU-1000 contributed to its high adsorption rate. River water was also used to confirm the excellent adsorptive performance of these three Zr-MOFs in practical application. These results might aid us to comprehend the adsorption of TC on Zr-MOFs and expand the application of Zr-MOFs in water treatment for removal of emerging contaminants.

A wide range of mesoporous Zr and Hf metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), namely MIP-206, MOF-808, and NU-1000, as well as the microporous UiO-66, were systematically investigated and compared in terms of thermal and chemical stability. The holistic effects of metal type (Zr Hf), linker type (small and rigid large and flexible), and framework topology (2D 3D) on the overall framework stability were investigated.

The conversion of chemically modified biomass into more valuable chemicals has recently gained significant attention from industry. In this study, we investigate the adsorption of fructose and its conversion into two trioses, glyceraldehyde (GLA) and dihydroxyacetone (DHA), on metal-organic frameworks using density functional theory calculations. The reaction mechanism proceeds through two main steps: first, the opening of the fructose ring; second, the retro-aldol fragmentation, which is favored over intramolecular hydrogen shifts.

Recent research on metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) has shown a shift from considering only the crystalline high-porosity phases to exploring their amorphous counterparts. Applying pressure to a crystalline MOF is a common method of amorphization, as MOFs contain large void spaces that can collapse, reducing the accessible surface area. This can be either a desired change or indeed an unwanted side effect of the application of pressure.

Water purification is becoming increasingly important due to the scarcity and industrial contamination of water. Although traditional adsorbents such as activated carbon and zeolites can remove heavy metal ions from water, they have slow kinetics and low uptake. To address these problems, metal-organic framework (MOF) adsorbents have been developed, which are characterized by facile synthesis, high porosity, designability, and stability.

Hierarchically ordered porous materials with tailored and inter-connected macro-, meso-, and micro-pores would facilitate the heterogeneous adsorption and catalysis processes for a wide range of applications but remain a challenge for synthetic chemists. Here, a general and efficient strategy for the synthesis of inverse opal metal-organic frameworks (IO MOFs) with a tunable size of macro-, meso-, and micro-pores is reported. The strategy is based on the step-wise template formation, precursor infiltration, solvo-thermal reaction, and chemical etching.
