Abstract

Defect-rich hcp UiO-66-NO₂ was synthesized via mixed linker-induced crystal transformation from fcu UiO-66-NO₂/NH₂. The defect concentration and porosity of hcp UiO-66-NO₂ can be fine-tuned by varying the BDC-NH₂/BDC-NO₂ ratio, which in turn endowed hcp UiO-66-NO₂ with superior catalytic performance in the ring-opening reaction of epoxides with alcohols.
