Pore space partition of a fragile Ag(i)-carboxylate framework via post-synthetic linker insertion

The pore space partition approach via post-synthetic linker insertion was used to modulate the porosity of a fragile Ag(i)-carboxylate framework with potentially large pore space. The resulting Ag(i)-MOFs with partitioned pores showed enhanced permanent porosity compared with a nonpartitioned Ag(i)-carboxylate framework.
