Hydrophobes are generally nonpolar, low-water-soluble molecules, and usually have long carbon chains. Hydrophobic interactions are often observed during adsorption of organics from aqueous media. MOFs were utilized for spilled oil adsorption as multipurpose adsorbents even though they were not used frequently. In 2011, Yang et al. for the first time reported the fluorous MOF (FMOF-1; constructed from silver (I) 3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)-1,2,4-triazolate) for oil spill cleanup [69]. FMOF-1 is highly hydrophobic, because of its perfluorinated inner surface. From Fig. 8, it is clear that FMOF-1 shows a high adsorption capacity and affinity for C6–C8 hydrocarbons and no detectable water adsorption, because of the hydrophobic interactions between FMOF-1 and non-polar adsorbates. Lin et al. reported high removal (about six times that with a commercial AC) of oil droplets (soybean oil) from water over Cu-BTC [134]. The high adsorption resulted from hydrophobic interactions between the benzene rings in Cu-BTC and soybean oil.
