Exploitation of new materials for the removal of long-lived and highly radioactive actinides and their fission products produced in the nuclear fuel cycle is crucial for radionuclide management. Here, two rare porous anionic uranyl-organic frameworks (UOFs) have been successfully synthesized by a judicious combination of the tetratopic carboxylate ligand 1,3,6,8-tetrakis( p-benzoic acid)pyrene (H4TBAPy) and D3 h-symmetrical triangular [UO2(COO)3]-. The resulting two compounds exhibit different architectures, albeit with similar coordination modes. Of interest is that they have excellent adsorption performance on Cs+ from aqueous solution. The high removal efficency would make them promising in applications of radioactive waste management. Notably, the framework of compound 2, [(CH3)2NH2]4[(UO2)4(TBAPy)3]·22DMF·37H2O is sufficiently robust to allow the accessibility of intriguing single crystals of a Cs+-adsorbed derivative, which helps to elucidate the adsorption mechanism. The structural, bonding, and spectroscopic properties of the above compounds are examined using relativistic density functional theory (DFT). It is found that the adsorption toward cesium on UOFs is energetically favored, which features largely ionic bonds and is dominated by electrostatic attraction.
