Water contamination is a concern worldwide; therefore, water remediation is an ongoing area of interest. The metal-organic framework (MOF) UiO-66(Zr) shows promising results for aiding in water remediation. Though it is well known that the level of defects in UiO-66 may vary widely, the impacts of such defects on environmental remediation are underexplored. As such we have prepared a UiO-66 series with varying numbers of ligand defects to investigate relationships between defects and metal uptake capabilities in aqueous environments.
