Abstract:The widespread use and contamination of natural sources by new-generation drugs and pesticides have enhanced concern about environmental pollution. Understanding the above importance, we developed a superhydrophobic metal−organic framework (MOF) (SHMOF′: [Zr 6 O 4 (OH) 4 (BDC-NH−CO-R) 2.4 (BDC-NH 2 ) 0.6 (CF 3 COO) 6 ]•2.5H 2 O•4DMF) for ecological remediation via adsorption-based separation of hydrophobic drugs (flurbiprofen) and pesticides (fluazinam). The newly developed SHMOF′ has a high adsorption capacit… Show more
