The present invention relates to a porous metal-organic framework (MOF) and includes a process for making the MOF and a process for using the MOF to remove aldehyde from a fluid stream. The MOF comprises a uniform and reproducible structure that can be synthesized at room temperature. The MOF is highly effective at removing an aldehyde from a fluid stream.
