Versatile functionalization of the NU-1000 platform by solvent-assisted ligand incorporation

Solvent-assisted ligand incorporation (SALI) was utilized to efficiently insert various carboxylate-derived functionalities into the Zr-based metal-organic framework NU-1000 as charge compensatingmoieties strongly bound to the Zr-6 nodes. SALI-derived functionalities are accessible for further chemical reactions such as click chemistry, imine condensation and pyridine quaternization.
