Starfruit‐Shaped Zirconium Metal–Organic Frameworks: From 3D Intermediates to 2D Nanosheet Petals with Enhanced Catalytic Activity

A novel starfruit-shaped metal–organic framework (SMOF) composed of zirconium and tetra(4-carboxyphenyl)porphine linkers has been fabricated. The unique morphology of the SMOF, characterized by 2D nanosheet petals grown through edge-sharing, arises from 3D PCN-222 MOF intermediates. The distinct morphology of the SMOF leads to superior catalytic activity in detoxifying G-type nerve agent and blister agent simulants, surpassing that of its 3D counterparts.
