We describe solid–gas
phase, single-crystal-to-single-crystal,
postsynthetic modifications of a metal–organic framework (MOF).
Using ozone, we quantitatively transformed the olefin groups of a
UiO-66-type MOF into 1,2,4-trioxolane rings, which we then selectively
converted into either aldehydes or carboxylic acids.
