    The incorporation of different percentages of Fe2+ into copper benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylate (CuBTC) was successfully carried out at room-temperature synthesis with water as the only solvent. The XRD and XPS analysis shows that the Fe2+ were substituted into the paddlewheel structure. The incorporation of 18% Fe2+ into CuBTC can increase the surface area and porosity of the framework. The BET surface area of Cu82Fe18BTC (1240 m2/g) was significantly higher than CuBTC (708 m2/g). Further increase in the Fe2+ percentage will reduce the surface area of the compound. The presence of Fe2+ in the framework successfully disturbs the pore formation and widens the pore size on the surface of these compounds. This as well as the pHpzc, which is related to the surface acidity of the resulting bimetallic organic framework (BMOF), play an important role in the adsorption process. Cu53Fe47BTC with an adsorption capacity of 94.42 mg/g shows approximately 6 times greater adsorption capacity against MB compared to CuBTC. This shows that by utilizing a different ratio of Cu and a second metal, it is possible to effectively design the surface morphology of BMOF for specific applications.
