Abstract
Here we propose to modify the hydrophilicity of metal-organic framework (MOF) particles by an interfacial assembling route, which is based on the surface-active nature of MOF particles. It was found that hydrophilic UiO-66-NH₂ particles can be converted to hydrophobic particles through an oil-water interfacial assembling route. The underlying mechanism for the conversion of UiO-66-NH₂ was investigated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and FT-IR spectroscopy. It was revealed that the close assembly of UiO-66-NH₂ particles at the oil-water interface strengthens the coordination between organic ligands and metal ions, which results in a decrease in the proportion of hydrophilic groups on UiO-66-NH₂ particle surfaces. Hydrophobic UiO-66-NH₂ particles show improved adsorption capacity for dyes in organic solvents compared with pristine UiO-66-NH₂ particles. It is expected that the interfacial assembling route can be applied to the synthesis of different kinds of MOF materials with tunable hydrophilicity or hydrophobicity required for diverse applications.
