title: Extracting organic contaminants from water using the metal-organic framework CrIII(OH)·{O2C-C6H4-CO2}.
abstract: The water-stable metal-organic framework MIL-53(Cr) is able to adsorb phenol and p-cresol from contaminated water as well as the monomeric sugar D-(-)-fructose. Based on the isotherm for phenol uptake from the liquid phase, it is proposed that the framework breathes to maximize the uptake.
