functionalization of MOFs can lead to different structure–activity
relationships. Flexible ligands make it easier and more diverse to
assemble MOFs. The auxiliary ligand fumarate (FA) was inserted successfully
into PCN-207 because of the flexibility of the primary linker and
unsaturated Zr6 cluster via the post-modification method.
Moreover, the successfully synthesized (4,10)-connected stable PCN-207-FA
exhibited excellent thermal/chemical stability and better adsorption/separation
performance of light hydrocarbons than that of PCN-207 and PCN-207-BDC,
which provide guidance for inserting multiple ligands into MOFs and
reveal the importance of structure–activity relationships.
