Aqueous Synthesis of a Mesoporous Zr-Based Coordination Polymer for Removal of Organic Dyes.

ABSTRACT: Porous coordination polymers have received intensive attention for pollution abatement, such as dye removal, because of their high porosity and specific surface areas. However, the commonly used water-stable porous coordination polymers are microporous and synthesized within organic solvents, which deters seriously their widespread application. In this report, we developed a facile strategy for the synthesis of mesoporous Zr-based coordination polymer (Zr-BDC-CP) within aqueous solutions. The morphology and structure of Zr-BDC-CP were characterized with scanning electron microscopy, powder X-ray diffraction, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Pore size distribution analysis confirms that the as-synthesized material is mesoporous, which allows the efficient adsorption of methylene
