Abstract
Fast, selective capture of oxoanions of selenium [Se(<sc>iv</sc>), Se(<sc>vi</sc>)] and arsenic [As(<sc>v</sc>)] by a chemically stable cationic MOF, <italic>viz.</italic> iMOF-3C, is reported. The compound successfully yields drinking quality water from complicated matrix including river water.
