Whitish-blue light emitting fluorescent ZIF-8 structures were synthesized by means of bis-carboxylate functional calix[4]pyrrole (BCCP) modification. The concentration was also manipulated to tune the sizes structures. Moreover, BCCP-modified samples exhibited enhanced organic micropollutant removal capacity from aqueous solutions.
