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