Structural Diversity of Zirconium Metal–Organic Frameworks and Effect on Adsorption of Toxic Chemicals

While linkers with various conformations pose challenges in the design and prediction of metal–organic framework (MOF) structures, they ultimately provide great opportunities for the discovery of novel structures thereby enriching structural diversity. Tetratopic carboxylate linkers, for example, have been widely used in the formation of Zr-based MOFs due to the ability to target diverse topologies, providing a promising platform to explore...
