Amorphous metal-organic frameworks obtained from a crystalline precursor for the capture of iodine with high capacities

Chem Commun (Camb). 2022 Apr 19;58(32):5013-5016. doi: 10.1039/d1cc07229c.

Abstract

Two amorphous metal-organic frameworks (aMOFs) were obtained from crystalline Co-MOF (SCNU-Z6) via temperature-induced (aT-SCNU-Z6) and water-immersed (aW-SCNU-Z6) approaches. They exhibited high iodine uptake, with the adsorption capacities of aT-SCNU-Z6 and aW-SCNU-Z6 reaching 2.05 and 5.04 g g-1, respectively. This work is the first report of iodine uptake by aMOFs.
