Tuning the electronic properties of Zr UiO-66 through defect-functionalised multivariate modulation

Abstract

The multivariate modulation of Metal–Organic Frameworks is presented as a valuable tool to introduce multiple functional units into UiO-66 while increasing its porosity. This manuscript encloses a comprehensive study using p-functionalised benzoate –NO₂, –SO₃ and –SH modulators, rationalizing the defects introduced and their impact on properties.
