Metal–Organic Frameworks: Uncovering Structural Opportunities for Zirconium Metal–Organic Frameworks via Linker Desymmetrization (Adv. Sci. 23/2019)

In article number 1901855, Daofeng Sun, Hong-Cai Zhou, and co-workers report a series of zirconium metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) with intricate topologies mimicking inorganic minerals. The utilization of bent tetratopic linkers with various substituents uncovers new structural opportunities for Zr-MOFs with sophisticated topologies for practical applications.
