  • Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) comprising an isoreticular series of MOFs based on face centered cubic (feu) topology. These MOFs can contain a rare earth metal (RE) located at the center and a ligand, for example, terephthalic acid or bipyridine and their extended forms. These MOFs can be combined with single walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) to obtain a carbon nanotube (CNT)-metal organic framework (MOF) composite (CNT@MOF). This CNT@MOF is useful for, e.g., removing dyes from wastewater and can be tailored to meet the size of the dye to be removed.
