Abstract

A reduced copper metal-organic framework (rCu-MOF) containing Cu^I ions was prepared by reducing raw MOFs (Cu-BTC). A series of polymer functionalizations and coupling reactions could subsequently be achieved via CuAAC click chemistry, thus demonstrating the high activity, facile recyclability and good structural stability of rCu-MOFs for catalytic applications.
