title: Covalent surface modification of a metal-organic framework: selective surface engineering via Cu(I)-catalyzed Huisgen cycloaddition.
abstract: A Zn-cornered, mixed-ligand, metal-organic framework (MOF) bearing TMS-protected acetylenes has been constructed and its surface decorated with organic molecules via'click chemistry', in a demonstration of selective post-synthesis functionalization.
