Abstract

Tunable hydrophobicity: Efficient air filters for the protection against chemical warfare agents might be achieved by surface functionalization of the pores in robust metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with fluoroalkyl residues and the precise control of their pore size (see picture). These MOFs capture harmful volatile organic compounds even under extremely moist conditions (80 % relative humidity).
