Strict monitoring and control of selenium concentrations in freshwater supplies is critical to safeguarding human health and aquatic life. A handful of previously investigated sorbents exhibit noteworthy gravimetric (mg g^-1) Se uptake capacities; however, often display insufficient volumetric (mg cm^-3) capacities, thereby requiring large volumes of material for commercial implementation. In this paper, in pursuit of mitigating this material inefficiency, we investigated the selenite (SeO₃^2-) and selenate (SeO₄^2-) affinity of MOF-808, a Zr-based metal–organic framework with a high density of potential Se oxyanion binding sites. MOF-808 recorded exceptional volumetric and gravimetric Se oxyanion capacities of 133 mg g^-1 (127 mg cm^-3) and 118 mg g^-1 (112 mg cm^-3) for aqueous selenite and selenate, respectively. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies revealed that selenite and selenate can bind at the MOF node via two distinct binding motifs, an η₂μ₂ motif in which the oxyanion coordinates to two different metal atoms in a single node, and a μ₂ motif in which the oxyanion interacts with only a single metal atom. Finally and furthermore, powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) patterns and N₂ adsorption/desorption isotherms confirm the retention of bulk crystallinity and porosity after the uptake of Se oxyanions.
