Hydrolytic stability in hemilabile metal–organic frameworks

摘要: Highly porous metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), which have undergone exciting developments over the past few decades, show promise for a wide range of applications. However, many studies indicate that they suffer from significant stability issues, especially with respect to their interactions with water, which severely limits their practical potential. Here we demonstrate how the presence of 'sacrificial'bonds in the coordination environment of its metal centres (referred to as hemilability) endows a dehydrated copper-based MOF …
