Unveiling the nature of boric acid adsorption by metal-organic frameworks with hexanuclear clusters

Ben Wu et al.

Summary: With the rapid development of industries, there is a growing demand for boric acid, but the world is also facing the issue of boron-containing wastewater. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), known for their exceptional stability and large surface area, have been identified as effective adsorbents for boron. In this study, Zr-6/Hf-6-based NU-1008 and NU-903 were investigated for their ability to remove boron from water. The results showed that Hf-6-based MOFs had a higher capacity for boron adsorption compared to Zr-6-based MOFs, which can be attributed to the weaker electronegativity of hafnium. Single crystal X-ray diffraction revealed the precise binding sites of boron on the MOFs.
