An Anionic Indium-Organic Framework with Spirobifluorene-Based Ligand for Selective Adsorption of Organic Dyes
Ionic metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with an ionic skeleton and unique porous structures could selectively adsorb charged dyes with specific dimensions. However, the ion-exchange-based and size-exclusion-based process as a chromatography method needs to be further explored. In this study, a new microporous anionic MOF, JUC-210, was synthesized using a spirobifluorene-based ligand and trivalent metal indium. JUC-210 has a two-fold interpenetrated pts framework with a large void space, possessing suitable pore sizes and an anionic skeleton for efficient separation of certain organic dyes. Different types of dyes were used to observe the selective adsorption ability of the as-synthesized MOF. JUC-210 displayed high selective adsorption toward the cationic dye methylene blue with positive charges based on ion exchange and size exclusion. Moreover, the effect of solvent on the selective adsorption behaviors of JUC-210 was investigated. The exploration of novel MOF materials would provide potential efficient adsorbents for separation of organic dyes.
