Regulation of hydrophobicity and water adsorption of MIL-101(Cr) through post-synthetic modification

Hydrophobic property of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) is not only important for their stability improvement but also has a profound effect on the performance of many applications. The essence of coordination bonds led to most of the MOFs are hydrophilic and hydrophobic MOFs are generally achieved by hydrophobic modification of pore surface. Here, we report the systematic regulation of water adsorption and hydrophobic property of a classical...
