UiO-66, composed by Zr-oxide inorganic bricks [Zr<sub>6</sub> (μ<sub>3</sub> -O)<sub>4</sub> (μ<sub>3</sub> -OH)<sub>4</sub> ] and organic terephthalate linkers, is one of the most studied metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) due to its exceptional thermal, chemical, and mechanical stability. Thanks to its high connectivity, the material can withstand structural deformations during activation processes such as linker exchange, dehydration, and defect formation. These processes do alter the zirconium ...[more]
