Postsynthetic modification at orthogonal reactive sites on mixed, bifunctional metal-organic frameworks

Abstract

A series of mixed, bifunctional metal-organic frameworks were synthesized and subsequent postsynthetic modification was demonstrated on the two, orthogonal functional sites. The use of differentially 'tagged' ligands combined with postsynthetic modification provides a facile route to a large number of functionally diverse materials.
