Abstract
Selective crystallization of organic frameworks is presented as a promising alternative to ion separation from competitive aqueous environments. The review focuses primarily on the principles determining ion selectivity in crystallization, as well as on structure-selectivity relationships. Specific examples involving anion separation by selective crystallization are discussed.
