An adaptive supramolecular organic framework for highly efficient separation of uranium via an in situ induced fit mechanism

Abstract

The as-synthesized adaptive supramolecular organic framework (MA–TMA) filled with abundant hydrogen-bonded N-/N and N-/O-heterocyclic motifs exhibits remarkable ability for highly efficient separation of uranium <italic>via</italic> an <italic>in situ</italic> “induced-fit” ion recognition mechanism.
