Abstract

Modulated synthesis and isoreticular expansion of Th-MOFs enable the stepwise construction of hierarchical complexes in which porosity and functionality can be fine-tuned, affording new Th-MOFs with a record high void space (74.0%), the largest surface area (3396.5 m2 g-1) among thorium materials, and excellent adsorption capacities toward radioactive iodine.
