Covalent surface modification of a metal-organic framework: selective surface engineering via Cu(I)-catalyzed Huisgen cycloaddition

Chem Commun (Camb). 2008 Nov 21:(43):5493-5. doi: 10.1039/b805101a. Epub 2008 Oct 8.

Abstract

A Zn-cornered, mixed-ligand, metal-organic framework (MOF) bearing TMS-protected acetylenes has been constructed and its surface decorated with organic molecules via'click chemistry', in a demonstration of selective post-synthesis functionalization.
