MOF-76: from a luminescent probe to highly efficient U(VI) sorption material

Chem Commun (Camb). 2013 Nov 14;49(88):10415-7. doi: 10.1039/c3cc44983a.

Abstract

MOF-76 exhibits not only high sensitivity for the detection of U(vi), but also high adsorption capacity of 298 mg g(-1) at a low pH value of ∼3.0. Furthermore, the high selectivity for uranium adsorption over a series of competing metal ions is also illustrated.
