title: Towards multifunctional MOFs--transforming a side reaction into a post-synthetic protection/deprotection method.
abstract: The contaminant commonly found in the important amino-substituted metal-organic framework UiO-66-NH2 has been shown to arise from partial formylation during the synthesis in DMF. Mild conditions have now been developed for both post-synthetic deformylation and near-complete formylation, offering a new post-synthetic protection-deprotection method for the synthesis of multifunctional MOFs.
