The invention provides a method for modifying a
metal-organic framework compound, belonging to the technical field of
metal-organic frameworks. The invention is to solve the problem of limit of application fields of UiO-66 due to insolubilization of the UiO-66 in water. The method provided by the invention comprises the following steps: step 1, dispersing a
metal-organic framework compound namelyUiO-66-NH2 in an
organic solvent; step 2, adding an
organic solvent solution of 2-bromoisobutyryl
bromide and an
organic solvent solution of
triethylamine, and carrying out a reaction under heating under the protection of
nitrogen; step 3, carrying out washing, then carrying out soaking with
methanol, and carrying out cleaning,
centrifugal separation and
drying; step 4, dispersing an obtained material and
sodium p-styrenesulfonate in water, adding a
tris[2-(dimethylamino)ethyl]amine solution of
copper bromide and a
sodium ascorbate solution, carrying out a reaction, and carrying out centrifuging so as to obtain a
clear liquid; and step 5, carrying out concentration, carrying out washing with
methanol, repeatedly carrying out washing and concentration, and carrying out freeze-
drying. The method provided by the invention increases the water
solubility and
surface charges of the UiO-66, and is applied to the fields of
drug sustained release,
pollutant adsorption, etc.
