Improving stability against desolvation and mercury removal performance of Zr(<scp>iv</scp>)–carboxylate frameworks by using bulky sulfur functions

Abstract

Synergism between oxygen and sulfur donors allows highly variable thioether side chains to be built into the matrices of Zr(<sc>iv</sc>)–carboxylate networks, boosting the functionality and stability of this promising class of porous solids.
