title: Utilizing a copper MOF as a reagent in a solvent mediated reaction to form a topologically distinct MOF.
abstract: Employing a semi-rigid di-1,2,4-triazole ligand leads to the formation of new MOFs [Cu(4)(L)(4)(SO(4))(4)]·4[Cu(H(2)O)(6)(SO(4))] (3) and [Cu(6)(L)(3)(SO(4))(5)(OH)(2)(H(2)O)(6)]·13H(2)O (4). The frameworks can be synthesized independently, but a reaction occurs in water wherein kinetic product 3 is used as a reagent to synthesize the topologically distinct thermodynamic product 4.
