Reticular Design of Precise Linker Installation into a Zirconium Metal–Organic Framework to Reinforce Hydrolytic Stability

node connectivity, while maintaining comparable water uptake capacity and pore-filling pressure as the pristine NU-600. Furthermore, introducing hydrophilic -OH groups into the linear linker backbones to construct multivariate MOFs can effectively shift the pore-filling step to lower partial pressures. This methodology demonstrates a powerful strategy to reinforce the structural stability of other MOF frameworks by increasing the connectivity of metal nodes, capable of encouraging developments in fundamental sciences and practical applications.
