Fig. 6: Schematic illustration of water purification using MOC@PIL 6.

For the removal of guests CH2Cl2, CHCl3, benzene, 1,4-cyclohexadiene, cyclohexene, cyclohexane, norbornadiene, norbornene, and norbornane from water, efficiency higher than 94% could be achived. For guests 1,4-dioxane and 7-oxabicycloheptane, removal efficiencies of 25% and 45% were respectively obtained.
