Title: Guanidinium-Based Ionic Covalent-Organic Nanosheets for Sequestration of Cr(VI) and As(V) Oxoanions in Water

Abstract

Chromium- and arsenic-based oxoanions are among the major highly toxic and carcinogenic inorganic pollutants present in groundwater, demanding fast and selective sequestration. Efficient capturing and removal of these highly mobile oxometallates at neutral pH presents a great challenge in groundwater cleanup. In this report, a series of guanidinium-based ionic organic covalent nanosheets (iCONs) with varying hydrogen bonding, steric, and electronic properties was studied to examine the structure–activity relationship in the adsorption and removal of chromium- and arsenic-based oxoanions in water. Structural modulations in iCONs were found to alter the guanidinium acidity, thus regulating the oxoanion uptake limits via ion exchange. The hydrogen bonding, steric, and electrostatic interactions at/near the guanidinium-based anion binding site in iCONs exerted heavy influences on the uptake efficiency and selectivity of arsenate but not on those of chromate. Further analyses revealed that the parallel bidentate hydrogen bonding interactions play a key role in the weak binding of arsenate to the protonated/positively charged guanidine motifs, whereas the strong ion–ion interactions between chromate and guanidinium appear to be more tolerant to the geometric and structural perturbation.
