In situ synthesis of multivariant zeolitic tetrazolate imidazole frameworks (ZTIFs) with uncoordinated N-heteroatom sites for efficient adsorption of antiviral drugs.

ABSTRACT: The current outbreak of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has significantly increased the global usage of antiviral drugs (AVDs), leading to higher concentrations of antibiotics in water pollution. To address this current issue, a new kind of adsorbent named isostructural zeolitic tetrazolate imidazolate frameworks (ZTIFs) were synthesized by combining imidazole and tetrazolates into one self-assembly approach by adjusting pores and stability of frameworks. The incorporation of imidazole ligand progressively increased the stability of frameworks. Furthermore, increasing the content of tetrazolate ligand greatly improved the adsorption performance due to N-rich sites by increasing the pore size. The obtained adsorbent composite exhibits macroporous structure up to 53.05 nm with excellent
