Selective adsorption of anionic dyes and solvent molecule inclusion by metallo-hydrogen bonded organic frameworks (MHOFs) based on bowl-shaped ligands

Key Points

• Selective adsorption of anionic dyes was achieved using metallo-hydrogen bonded organic frameworks.
• The significant uptake of three different anionic dyes was demonstrated throughout the analysis.
• Observational analysis of various solvent molecules and dyes showed high affinity towards specific frameworks.
• These findings highlight the potential environmental applications of these materials in wastewater treatment.
