Monolithic body comprising metal organic frameworks

A monolithic body comprising metal organic frameworks (MOFs) and a polymeric binder, wherein

• the polymeric binder comprises a first polymer and a second polymer, the first polymer being water-insoluble with a water solubility of not greater than 5 g/L of water at 25° C., and the second polymer being water-soluble with a water solubility of at least 10 g/L of water at 25° C.;
• an amount of the polymeric binder is at least 3 wt % based on the total weight of the MOFs and the polymeric binder;
• an average crush strength of the monolithic body is at least 10 N,
• and wherein the first polymer comprises functional groups and the second polymer comprises functional groups, and the functional groups of the first polymer are capable of forming covalent bonds with the functional groups of the second polymer.
