Abstract

Fluorocarbons and chlorocarbons are common volatile organic compounds that pose serious risk to the environment and human health and therefore need to be effectively captured. Herein, we report a series of highly fluorinated metal-organic frameworks with high porosity (Brunauer-Emmett-Teller surface area ∼3000 m2/g) and stability. They show exceptionally high capacity and good recyclability toward the adsorption of fluorocarbons and chlorocarbons.
