    Project supported by the 973 Program (Nos. 2011CB932504 and 2012CB821705) and the National Natural Science Foundation of China (Nos. 21221001, 21403235).

By employing the 5-aminoisophthalic acid (H2aip) ligand to assemble with In3+ ion, a two-dimensional (2D) anionic metal-organic framework (MOF), namely {(Me2NH2)·[In(aip)2]}·xG (1, G=guest), was solvothermally synthesized. In(NO3)3·5H2O (38 mg, 0.1 mmol) and H2aip (45 mg, 0.25 mmol) are added to a mixed solvent of DMF/EtOH/H2O (V:V:V=2:2:1), and then the solution was placed in a small vial. After ultrasonic diffusion for 2 min, it is heated at 120 ℃ for 2 d to obtain yellowish sheet crystals (yield 75% based on H2aip). 1 can be stable under different organic solvent and water. Single crystal diffraction is used to characterize its structure. 1 crystallizes in P-1 space group and presents a 2D sql net. There is weak hydrogen bonding interaction between layers, which effectively prevents the relative motion of the frameworks. The infinite layers further pack into a 3D framework in an AB fashion, thus generating some channels in every direction. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and X-ray powder diffraction (PXRD) are used to measure its thermal stability and purity. The framework can be stable up to 350 ℃ after the guest molecular removed. For gas adsorption studies, 1 was heated at 150 ℃ for 6 h under a vacuum, and then the desolvated solid 1-ht is obtained. Gas sorption measurements indicate that 1-ht can hardly adsorb N2 (0.8 cm3·g-1), but except for H2 (91.2 cm3·g-1) and CO2 (44.9 cm3·g-1), which shows potential applications in CO2/N2 separation at 273 K and 101 kPa. In addition, based on ion-exchange and size-exclusion effect, compound 1 can rapidly adsorb cationic methylene blue (MB) from water in 2 h, but except for anionic methyl orange (MO) and much larger Rhodamine B (RhB). Based on these characters, compound 1 can effectively separate MB over MO and RhB in their mixed water solution. This is a promising application for MOFs in this field. However, only a few MOFs have been investigated to adsorb organic dyes, and the selective separation of mixed dyes in water by MOFs remains rarely explored to date.
