groups, postsynthesis deprotection,
and postsynthesis metallation, a homogeneously inaccessible, single-site
vanadyl(monocatecholate) moiety can be incorporated into the dipyridyl
struts of a Zn-based, pillared paddlewheel MOF. The resulting MOF,
which has large pores, exhibits catalytic activity in the benzylic
oxidation of tetralin in the presence of tert-butylhydroperoxide.
