Intercalation-Enabled Reversible Disorder and Efficient Iodine Capture in a Two-Dimensional Metal-Organic Frameworks

Key Points

• The aim is to explore intercalation-induced order-disorder transitions in two-dimensional metal-organic frameworks and their capacity for iodine capture.
• Investigated the intercalation process under mild conditions
• Analyzed changes in structure and interactions within the framework
• Evaluated iodine insertion and release dynamics
• Observed reversible order-disorder transitions upon iodine intercalation
• Demonstrated efficient iodine capture due to weak interlayer interactions
• Highlight potential applications in gas storage and separation
