Evaluating the relationship between structure and function of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) is an
interesting issue that is discussed in this work. Here, four isoreticular 3D porous zinc( II ) MOFs with
pcu topology, including [Zn(oba)(4-bpmb) 0.5 ] (DMF) 1.5 (TMU-6), [Zn(oba)(bpmn) 0.5 ] (DMF) 1.5 (TMU-21),
[Zn 2 (oba) 2 (bpfb)] (DMF) 5 (TMU-23) and [Zn 2 (oba) 2 (bpfn)] (DMF) 2 (TMU-24), H 2 oba = 4,40-oxybisbenzoic
acid, bpmb = N,N0-bis-(4-pyridylmethylene)-1,4-benzenediamine, bpmn = N,N0-bis-(4-pyridylmethylene)-
1,5-naphthalenediamine, bpfb = N,N0-bis-(4-pyridylformamide)-1,4-benzenediamine and bpfn = N,N0-
bis(4-pyridylformamide)-1,5-naphthalenediamine, containing imine- (TMU-6 and TMU-21) and amide-
(TMU-23 and TMU-24) decorated pores, were successfully synthesized by a mechanochemical method.
Then, adsorption efficiency of these four MOFs for some heavy metal ions was studied to evaluate effects
of the types of functional groups of the pillars in different MOFs on the adsorption process. The results
indicated that amide-decorated MOFs show a better adsorption efficiency toward metal ions than the
imine-decorated MOFs. In the following, TMU-23 was used as an efficient sorbent for extraction and
removal of some heavy metal ions (Co 2+ , Cd 2+ , Cu 2+ , Cr 3+ , Fe 2+ , and Pb 2+ ) and its analytical performance
was evaluated and determined. In addition, DFT calculations were performed on possible coordination
modes between cations and simplified functional groups of the related pillars in each MOF and a probable
interaction mechanism of the MOFs and the metal ions was evaluated.
