Cationic dye adsorption and separation at discrete molecular level: first example of an iron cluster with rapid and selective adsorption of methylene blue from aqueous system

Abstract

A novel Fe₆ cluster was designed as a rare example of any discrete molecule as a highly efficient, selective and rapid functional material for the adsorption of cationic dyes, <italic>i.e.</italic> methylene blue (MB), from contaminated water bodies.
