Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are crystalline and highly porous inorganic-organic hybrid materials. In recent years, MOFs have become popular due to their potential applications in gas storage and separations. A large number of MOFs reported in the literature are prepared from ligands containing carboxylate groups. In this study, we prepared several thio- and dithiocarboxylate ligands and their MOFs. The resulting novel ligands and MOFs were characterized by NMR, IR, XRD, and SDT. Subsequently, the MOFs were also studied for their host-guest chemistry of dye molecules such as methylene blue and <i>p</i>-nitrophenol.
