Chemically reprogrammable metal organic frameworks (MOFs) based on Diels–Alder chemistry†
Abstract
We present the reversible Diels–Alder functionalization of metal organic frameworks (MOFs). Cyclopentadiene (Cp) functional MOFs are ligated with dienophiles to fabricate functional MOFs with a reprogrammable chemical nature. Our strategy thus constitutes an unprecedented concept for chemically dynamic MOFs able to be recoded.
