Novel side-chain-type sulfonated poly­(arylene ether ketone) (SNF-PAEK) containing naphthalene and fluorine moieties on the main chain was prepared in this work, and a new amino–sulfo-bifunctionalized metal–organic framework (MNS, short for MIL-101-NH2-SO3H) was synthesized via a hydrothermal techno...
