Abstract
A vapor-phase grafting strategy is developed for the postsynthetic modification of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). On the basis of the Schotten-Baumann reaction between acyl chloride (-COCl) and amino (-NH2) groups and hydrolysis of -COCl, the carboxylated MOFs could be prepared through simple exposure in vaporized acyl chloride molecules and immersion in water. The modified MOFs have well-maintained crystalline structures and porosities and show substantially improved fluoride removal performance.
