Abstract
Water-stabilized ionic metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have developed some promising areas such as dye adsorption and ions detection. Here, a new multifunctional ionic MOF [(CH3)2NH2)][Cd4(PPTBA)2(Cl)(H2O)4]·5 H2O (Cd-MOF-1) (H4PPTBA = 4,4′,4′′,4′′′-(pyrrolo[3,2-b]pyrrole-1,2,4,5-tetrayl) tetrabenzoic acid) was synthesized by solvothermal method. The structural analysis revealed that Cd-MOF-1 possessed a three-dimensional (3D) anionic framework in which the linear tetranuclear clusters were connected by PPTBA4- ligands and its channels contained the (CH3)2NH2+ cations, which can be exchanged by cationic dyes to realize the selective adsorption of cationic dyes. As a result, Cd-MOF-1 can efficiently adsorb the methylene blue (MB+) dyes in aqueous solution with a high adsorption capacity of about 329.8 mg·g−1. Considering the practical application of Cd-MOF-1 as an adsorbent, a mixed matrix membrane of Cd-MOF-1/polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) was fabricated. This Cd-MOF-1/PVDF film inherited the performance of preferentially adsorbing the MB+ dyes, which also displayed excellent adsorption capacity of 328.1 mg·g−1. In addition, Cd-MOF-1 presented the distinct quenching responses towards Fe3+, CrO42- and Cr2O72- ions in water. The Stern-Volmer quenching constants were calculated as 2.32 × 104, 5.2 × 104 and 3.32 × 104 M−1, respectively, and the detection limits were 0.078, 0.052 and 0.073 µM, respectively. Remarkably, the fabricated Cd-MOF-1/PVDF film was applied as a portable device to realize the visual detection of Fe3+, CrO42- and Cr2O72- ions. These experimental results indicated the prepared Cd-MOF-1 was highly promising for dye adsorption and ion detection in aqueous environment.
