Multicobalt(II) two-dimensional layer coordination polymer {[Co(bitbu-OMe) 2 (NCS) 2 ]·2MeOH} n ( 1 ) was synthesized using a bis-imidazole ligand having a steric hindrance, tert -butyl, and one methoxy group expressed by bitbu-OMe (bitbu-OMe = 1,1′-[(5-tert-butyl-2-methoxybenzene-1,3-diyl)dimethanediyl]bis(1 H -imidazole). Since there are two methanol molecules trapped inside each void within 1 , the investigation of small organic matter removal from organic wastewater was conducted in order to reveal its ability in the purification process. The research findings indicate that 1 has the ability to capture methanol, acetone, acetonitrile, and tetrahydrofuran in organic wastewater with removal ratios of 29.17%, 63.22%, 42.77%, and 21.24%, respectively.
