Abstract: The molecular surface imprinted graft copolymer of metal-organic framework MOF-5 with methacrylic acid were prepared by free radical polymerization with dibutyl phthalate as the template molecule using initiator of azobisisobutyronitrile as adsorption system. The prepared MIPs@MOF-5 were characterized by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, Brunner-Emmet-Teller measurements, adsorption isotherms, kinetics and selectivity experiments, which showed higher specificity, sensitivity, stability, and better adsorption performance. The results suggested that MIPs@MOF-5 had two sites of adsorption behavior and can recognize sensitively and selectively the template molecules. Moreover, the MIPs@MOF-5 was successfully applied to the analysis of tap water sample
