The postsynthetic functionalization of the bridging OH-group between two metal centers of the secondary building units of MIL-53(Al) with 1,1'-ferrocenediyl-dimethylsilane is the proof of principle of a new, selective functionalization method of the "inorganic" part of the porous coordination polymer (PCP). The functionalized material was active in the liquid-phase oxidation of benzene to phenol as a test reaction for redox activity.
