Substituent Effects in the Crystallization of Zr−Hydroxamate Metal−Organic Frameworks

Key Points

• The study investigates the impact of halogen substituents on the crystallization of Zr-hydroxamate metal-organic frameworks (MOFs).
• Examined the effects of halogen substituents on Zr-hydroxamate MOFs
• Analyzed changes in framework topology during crystallization
• Assessed chemical robustness of the resulting structures.
• Halogen substituents directed the crystallization process
• Evolution from kagome to square lattice topology was observed
• The first sql net was identified in this family of MOFs.
