Clip off and rearrange: new MOF materials synthesized by selective bond breaking
Researchers at the Catalan Institute of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (ICN2) created new materials of the metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) family using an innovative technique, based on cleavage of covalent bonds in known MOFs and consequent structural reorganization. This approach, inspired by the ‘Clip-Off Chemistry’ previously developed by the authors, is presented in a paper recently published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society (JACS).
