Adsorption and Removal of 2,4,6-Trinitrotoluene by a Glycoluril-Derived Molecular-Clip-Based Supramolecular Organic Framework

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: A glycoluril-derived molecular-clip-based supramolecular organic framework (clip-SOF) with intrinsic porosity was prepared. The clip-SOF was used for the adsorption and removal of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) driven by noncovalent interactions. The efficiency of TNT removal by clip-SOFs is up to 88.5% in adsorption equilibrium, and the TNT adsorption capacity of clip-SOFs is about 40.2 mg/g at 25.0 °C. Clip-SOFs have good reusability, exhibiting almost no loss in performance in ten consecutive recycling tests. This work not only provides a new method for adsorbing energetic materials, but also promotes the application of supramolecular hosts in crystal engineering.
