Metal-Organic Frameworks as Unique Platforms to Gain Insight of σ-Hole Interactions for the Removal of Organic Dyes from Aquatic Ecosystems.

ABSTRACT: The combination of high crystallinity and rich host-guest chemistry in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), have situated them in an advantageous position, with respect to traditional porous materials, to gain insight on specific weak noncovalent supramolecular interactions. In particular, sulfur σ-hole interactions are known to play a key role in the biological activity of living beings as well as on relevant molecular recognitions processes. However, so far, they have been barely explored. Here, we describe both how the combination of the intrinsic features of MOFs, especially the possibility of using single-crystal X-ray crystallography (SCXRD), can be an extremely valuable tool to gain insight on sulfur σ-hole interactions, and how their rational exploitation can be enormously useful in th
