Abstract:
Metal phenolic networks (MPNs) were used for the first time for the construction of core@shell MOF materials. Diverse functional nanocores with different shapes and sizes could be coated with ZIF-8 shells mediated by MPNs. The obtained Fe3O4@TA-Fe3+@ZIF-8 powder showed a superhydrophobic nature which could efficiently absorb n-hexane from water.

Metal-Ligand Bonds
In these complexes, transition metals form coordinate covalent bonds, a kind of Lewis acid-base interaction in which both of the electrons in the bond are contributed by a donor (Lewis base) to an electron acceptor (Lewis acid). The Lewis acid in...
