A crystalline microporous hydrogen-bonded cross-linked organic framework has been developed through covalent photo-cross-linking of molecular monomers that are assembled in a crystalline state. The elastic framework expands its void space to adsorb iodine rapidly with a high uptake capacity in an aq...
