Cover Feature: Capture of Gaseous Iodine in Isoreticular Zirconium‐Based UiO‐n Metal‐Organic Frameworks: Influence of Amino Functionalization, DFT Calculations, Raman and EPR Spectroscopic Investigation (Chem. Eur. J. 14/2022)

Abstract

Gaseous iodine has been captured by using a series of zirconium-based UiO-n metal–organic framework (MOF) sorbents. This study highlights the significant role of amino groups attached to the organic linker, which enhance the iodine uptake capacity, as well as its conversion into anionic iodide I3− species, trapped within UiO-n cavities.
