Investigation of Adsorption Capacity of Metal-Organic Polymers

Abstract

In this work, we studied a biocompatible hybrid material based on iron (III) and muconic acid oxoclusters. It has been shown that coordination polymers are a promising class as functional materials for various purposes (as sorbents, catalysts, conductors, storage materials, etc.). The adsorption capacity of the obtained adsorbent for removing dyes from the prepared solution was in the following order: CR> MB> MV. From the results of the study, we can conclude that the dye Congo red is best suited for adsorption by the coordination polymer. The maximum absorption of the dye on organometallic coordination polymers occurs in the pH range 5 - 7 with adsorption of ~ 90%, which is important for the potential practical application of such coordination polymers as carriers for drug delivery.
