An adsorbent material comprising a metal organic phase and a porous silica phase is provided. The adsorbent material can be a synthesized from at least one porous silica material, one or more metal ions, and at least one organic linker comprising one or more multidentate functional groups capable of forming coordinate bonds with the metal ions. The porous silica can be an ordered mesoporous silica material. Methods of making the adsorbent material and methods of removing molecules from a fluid using the adsorbent material are also provided. |
