Title: An Exceptionally Stable Metal–Organic Framework Constructed from Chelate-Based Metal–Organic Polyhedra

We report the rational design and synthesis of a water-stable metal–organic framework (MOF), Fe-HAF-1, constructed from supramolecular, Fe3+-hydroxamate-based polyhedra with mononuclear metal nodes. Owing to its chelate-based construction, Fe-HAF-1 displays exceptional chemical stability in organic and aqueous solvents over a wide pH range (pH 1–14), including in the presence of 5 M NaOH. Despite the charge neutrality of the Fe3+-tris(hydroxamate) centers, Fe-HAF-1 crystals are negatively charged above pH 4. This unexpected property is attributed to the formation of defects during crystallization that results in uncoordinated hydroxamate ligands or hydroxide-coordinated Fe centers. The anionic nature of Fe-HAF-1 crystals enables selective adsorption of positively charged ions in aqueous solution, resulting in efficient separation of organic dyes and other charged species in a size-selective fashion. Fe-HAF-1 presents a new addition to a small group of chelate-based MOFs and provides a rare framework whose 3D connectivity is exclusively formed by metal–hydroxamate coordination.
