A Ni(<scp>ii</scp>) metal–organic framework with helical channels for the capture of iodine <i>via</i> guest exchange induced amorphization

Abstract

A Ni( ii ) MOF based on a imidazole–tetrazole heterotopic tripodal ligand was constructed. It exhibits abilities for the stable capture of iodine molecules present in cyclohexane, water, and vapor, via amorphization induced by guest exchange.
