title: Selective bifunctional modification of a non-catenated metal-organic framework material via "click" chemistry.
abstract: A noncatenated, Zn-based metal-organic framework (MOF) material bearing silyl-protected acetylenes was constructed and postsynthetically modified using "click" chemistry. Using a solvent-based, selective deprotection strategy, two different organic azides were "clicked" onto the MOF crystals, resulting in a porous material whose internal and external surfaces are differently functionalized.
