A multifunctional Zr(<scp>iv</scp>)-based metal–organic framework for highly efficient elimination of Cr(<scp>vi</scp>) from the aqueous phase

Abstract

An ultra-stable, multifunctional Zr-MOF material with the AIE effect has been successfully prepared, which can highly capture, selectively detect and photo-reduce Cr₂O₇²⁻ in aqueous. It can be a promising candidate for efficiently eliminating Cr(<sc>vi</sc>).
