Achieving large pore size, high catalytic performance with stable structure is critical for metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) to have more hopeful prospects in catalytic applications. Herein, we had reported a method to synthesize highly reactive yet stable defective iron-based Metal organic frameworks by using different monocarboxylic acids with varying lengths as a modulator. The physical−chemical characterization illustrating that modulators could improve the crystallinity, enlarge pore size and enhance catalytic performance and octanoic acid (OA) was screened to be the suitable choice. The catalytic performance of catalysts was detected through persulfate (PS) activation for degrading Tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA). The study demonstrated that the highest degradation efficiency for 0.018 mmol L−1 TBBPA was that 97.79% in the conditions of the 1.0 g L−1 Fe(BDC)(DMF,F)-OA-30 dosage and TBBPA:PS = 200:1. In addition, there was observed that no obvious change of the crystal structure, little the leachable iron concentration in the solutions and no significant loss of catalytic activities of Fe(BDC)(DMF,F)-OA-30 after 5th cycles. The iron valence state of Fe(BDC)(DMF,F)-OA-30 before and after degradation and electrochemical properties reveal that the partial substitution of organic ligands by octanoic acid, when removing OA and forming defects by heat and vacuum treatment to generate coordinatively unsaturated metal sites and accelerate the original transmission of electronic, leading to enhance the activity of persulfate activation for efficient removal TBBPA.
