Tailoring fluorescent ZIF-8 nanostructures through calix[4]pyrrole modification: tunable size and enhanced organic micropollutant removal capacity

Abstract

Whitish-blue light emitting fluorescent ZIF-8 structures were synthesized by means of bis-carboxylate functional calix[4]pyrrole (BCCP) modification. Calix[4]pyrrole concentration was also manipulated to tune the sizes of ZIF-8 structures. Moreover, BCCP-modified...
