Abstract

The thermolabile acetylene dicarboxylic acid has been introduced as linker in UiO-66 topology, synthetizing the compound with formula [Ce₆O₄(OH)₄(ADC)₆] and denoted as Ce-UiO-66-ADC MOF. The characterization by multi-technique approach coupled with computational modelling revealed a peculiar intrinsic defective nature related to the nature of the linker.
