The creation of defects in crystalline structures can tune metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) properties, such as improving their adsorptive and catalytic performance with producing more porosity and active sites. In this work, the bimetallic UiO-66 containing Zn and Zr was prepared. And then UiO-66 with missing cluster defects (UiO-66-1/3) were obtained by acid washing to remove the Zn nodes. UiO-66-1/3 was used as sorbent of dispersive solid-phase extraction (dSPE) to extract and enrich (BUs). Combination with high-performance liquid chromatography-diode array detector (HPLC-DAD) was developed to detect trace BUs in soil samples. Adsorption equilibrium can be reached in 3 min. The method possesses high enrichment factor (202-325), low detection limit (0.005-0.04 ng·mL), and wide linear range (0.02-200 ng·mL). In addition, the recovery rate of UiO-66-1/3 as an adsorbent was still higher than 95% after reused for 16 times. This work provides a new material for the enrichment and detection of benzoylurea insecticides in the environment.

By combining in situ X-ray diffraction, Zr K-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy and H and C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, we show that the properties of the final MOF are influenced by HO and HCl via affecting the nucleation and crystal growth at the molecular level. The nucleation implies hydrolysis of monomeric zirconium chloride complexes into zirconium-oxo species, and this process is promoted by HO and inhibited by HCl, allowing to control crystal size by adjusting HO/Zr and HCl/Zr ratios. The rate-determining step of crystal growth is represented by the condensation of monomeric and oligomeric zirconium-oxo species into clusters, or nodes, with the structure identical to that in secondary building units (SBU) of UiO-66 framework.

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are harmful chemicals that are found in minute quantities in the atmosphere and are emitted from a variety of industrial and biological processes. They can be harmful to breathe or serve as biomarkers for disease detection. Therefore, capture and detection of VOCs is important.
