A molecular metal–organic cage as a recyclable sponge for PFOS removal from water

Abstract

A metal–organic cage (MOC) is shown to be an efficient molecular sponge for PFOS. A large association constant is observed for the 2 : 1 PFOS : MOC host–guest complex. Up to 12 equivalents of PFOS per MOC are removed from water. The recycling procedure developed allows for the recovery and reuse of the MOC.
