The　potential　application　of　copper　coordination　polymer　with　dithiooxamide　(H2dtoaCu),　one　of　the　metal-organic　frameworks　(MOFs)　in　the　adsorption　removal　of　crystal　violet　(CV)　from　aqueous　solution　was　studied.　Batch　adsorption　experiments　were　carried　out　as　a　function　of　initial　pH,　adsorbent　concentration,　contact　time,　initial　dye　concentration　and　temperature.　The　adsorption　of　CV　on　H2dtoaCu　can　be　best　described　by　the　Langmuir　isotherm　model　(R2　＞　0.9983)　with　maximum　monolayer　adsorption　capacity　of　165.83,　185.87,　and　204.50　mg　g-1　at　298,　308,　and　318　K,　respectively.　The　kinetics　of　CV　adsorption　followed　pseudo-second-order　model　(R2　＞　0.9984)　and　the　chemisorption　was　proved　to　be　rate-limiting　step.　Thermodynamic　parameters,　the　change　of　free　energy　(G　degrees),　entropy　(S　degrees)　and　enthalpy　(H　degrees),　showed　that　the　adsorption　of　CV　on　H2dtoaCu　was　feasible,　spontaneous　and　endothermic　process.　Here　we　concluded　that　H2dtoaCu　is　a　promising　adsorbent　for　the　removal　of　harmful　dyes　from　aqueous　solution.　(c)　2013　Wiley　Periodicals,　Inc.　J.　Appl.　Polym.　Sci.,　2013
