Four 1,3,5-tricarboxylic benzoic acid-based metal organic frameworks (BTC-MOFs) have been synthesized using Fe, Ni, Cu and Zn as metal ions and 1,3,5-tricarboxylic benzoic acid as organic linkers in aqueous medium under certain experimental conditions. The structural features of BTC-MOFs have been confirmed through morphological and spectroscopic analysis. Afterward, the comparison study has been made on water stability and absorption capacity of BTC-MOF at different temperatures (25 °C, 50 °C, 75 °C and 100 °C) using thermogravimetric analysis and UV–visible spectroscopy. Our study results confirm that Fe-BTC has high water stable structure among four BTC-MOFs due to induces dehydration process. Here, we have noted interesting order (i.e., Fe-BTC > Ni-BTC > Cu-BTC > Zn-BTC) for water stability and absorption capacity. Importantly, such type of experimental study helps to fill the …
