Area of Science:

  • Coordination Chemistry
  • Materials Science
  • Nanotechnology

Background:

  • Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) offer versatile platforms for tailored functionalities through diverse component combinations.
  • Sequential Linker Installation (SLI) is a key strategy for precise, atomic-scale property integration in MOFs.
  • Advanced MOFs, particularly those with Zr6 clusters, exhibit flexible matrices and missing-linker pockets suitable for SLI.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To detail the design and synthesis of MOFs with missing-linker pockets for specific applications.
  • To explore the insertion methods of functional linkers into MOFs via SLI.
  • To review the properties and applications of SLI-modified MOFs.

Main Methods:

  • Designing MOFs with strategically positioned open metal sites and missing-linker pockets.
  • Careful selection and installation of functional linkers into predetermined MOF sites.
  • Characterization of resulting MOFs, including X-ray diffraction, to confirm linker positioning.

Main Results:

  • SLI enables precise control over MOF structure and properties, enhancing structural diversity and stability.
  • Functionalized MOFs exhibit tailored performance in adsorption, catalysis, and recognition.
  • Framework flexibility in advanced MOFs accommodates various molecule sizes, expanding application scope.

Conclusions:

  • SLI is a powerful method for creating advanced, multifunctional MOFs with ordered, site-specific modifications.
  • The reviewed MOFs demonstrate significant potential in adsorption, catalysis, and recognition applications.
  • This work provides a rational pathway for future development of sophisticated MOFs using SLI.
