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.
