Photopolymerization of metal–organic polyhedra: an efficient approach to improve the hydrostability, dispersity, and processability†
Abstract
The photo-induced polymerization to covalently link metal–organic polyhedra (MOPs) by flexible polymer chains is reported for the first time, which endows MOPs with enhanced processability, dispersity, and hydrostability. The resultant hybrid material exhibits 9 times higher capacity and much better reusability than bulk MOPs in the adsorption of methylene blue.
