摘      要：Tailored design of organic linkers or metal nodes can introduce desirable functionalities into metal-organic cages(MOCs),significantly expanding their potential *** this study,we present a viable approach for engineering acyl-type metal nodes to create interior oxygen-rich sites within MOCs,enabling specific recognition of metal ions,including radioactive contaminants,while maintaining the structural integrity of the MOCs.A novel MOC featuring a uranyl-sealed calix[4]resorcinarene(C[4]R)-based multisite cavity,referred to as UOC,is synthesized as a *** UOC,peroxide-bridged dimeric uranyl units at both ends of the coordination cage provide abundant oxygen sites for coordination,forming a cryptand-like cavity that facilitates efficient recognition and encapsulation of Sr2+due to the size-matching ***,hydrophobic binding cavities at both ends of UOC promote the co-inclusion of two different guest *** by the strong binding affinity of UOC for Sr2+,it is employed as a solid adsorbent for capturing low concentrations of Sr2+in strontium-contaminated simulated groundwater.A removal efficiency of 99.7%for Sr2+at an initial concentration as low as 0.013 mmol L−1 is achieved,demonstrating its significant potential for the selective removal of trace amounts of radioactive 90Sr2+.This work demonstrates the feasibility of incorporating acyl-type metal nodes into MOCs for the recognition and encapsulation of metal ions,offering a novel strategy for developing new MOC-based functional materials.
