Our findings demonstrate that the energy of formation and Goldsmith's tolerance factor calculations suggest that these halides retain structural and thermodynamic stability in the cubic phase.

Therefore, a zeolitic imidazolate framework enhanced potassium ferrite (KFe₂O₄@_monoZIF-8) was prepared to remove astrazon pink FG (AP) and brilliant Red B (BR) dyes from the water system. The characterization results of KFe₂O₄@_monoZIF-8 revealed a well-structured diffraction pattern with a crystallite size of 31.24 nm and an energy bandgap of 1.87 eV.

Interestingly, KFe₂O₄@_monoZIF-8 functions as an adsorbent and a photocatalyst. The adsorption of AP and BR by KFe₂O₄@_monoZIF-8 in the absence of visible light revealed an equilibrium sorption capacity of 17.85±0.8 and 15.00±0.8 mg g^-1, respectively, in a process described by pseudo-2nd-order kinetic model.
