Supramolecular Organic Framework with Multidimensional Storage Spaces for Ultrahigh-Capacity Iodine Capture from Seawater by Lijuan Feng, Jun Zhang, Jiacheng Zhang, Xuewen Cao, Zhanhu Guo, Yihui Yuan, Ning Wang

“…Due to the rigid support and the formation of hydrogen bonds and π–π stacking interactions between the compounds, interconnected 1D channels and 2D interlayer nanospaces are constructed within SOF-HTNI, providing abundant flexible spaces for iodine storage. By combining the charge interaction of the amine and pyridyl groups from the compounds with the binding ability of aromatic rings, SOF-HTNI achieves impressive iodine adsorption capacities of 436.56 mg g−1 to iodide and 5.03 g g−1 to triiodide. …”
