title: 3D porous metal-organic framework exhibiting selective adsorption of water over organic solvents.
abstract: A 3D porous metal-organic framework (MOF) with 1D open channels has been constructed hydrothermally using Zn(II) and a rigid planar ligand IDC(3)- (imidazole-4,5-dicarboxylate). This MOF can adsorb water selectively over organic solvents and can be regenerated and reused. It also represents a rare example of a MOF with open channels that form/collapse reversibly upon hydration/dehydration.
