Exceptionally water stable heterometallic gyroidal MOFs: tuning the porosity and hydrophobicity by doping metal ions†
Abstract
A strategy to improve the framework porosity and hydrophobicity of the pore surface by doping metal ions (Cu2+, Cd2+, or Fe2+) into a gyroidal MOF STU-1 has been developed. It is found that the obtained heterometallic MOFs are exceptionally water stable.
