“…Porous coordination polymers (PCPs), more commonly known as metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), have enjoyed particular attention due to their potential application in gas sorption and separation (Li et al, 1999;Zhang & Chen, 2009;Sumida et al, 2009;D'Alessandro et al, 2010;Burd et al, 2012;FitzGerald et al, 2013;Carrington et al, 2014), heterogeneous catalysis (Gomez-Lor et al, 2002;Wu et al, 2005;Lee et al, 2009;Li et al, 2009Li et al, , 2014 and novel optical and magnetic properties (Evans & Lin, 2002;Zhou et al, 2013;Baldoví et al, 2014;Wang et al, 2014). The post-synthetic modification (PSM) of coordination polymers and PCPs has only more recently been the focus of more detailed work (Ingleson et al, 2008;Tanabe et al, 2008;Wang & Cohen, 2009;Nguyen & Cohen, 2010;Vermeulen et al, 2013;Zheng et al, 2013;Li et al, 2013), facilitating the multi-step synthesis of materials (Ingleson et al, 2008;Tanabe et al, 2008;Wang & Cohen, 2009;Nguyen & Cohen, 2010;Vermeulen et al, 2013;Zheng et al, 2013;Li et al, 2013;Libri et al, 2008;Vitó rica-Yrezá bal et al, 2013), stereo-or regio-selective transformation of ligands (Jones & Bauer, 2009) or the modification of solid-state properties of porous materials (Wang & Cohen, 2009;Nguyen & Cohen, 2010). The flexibility an...…”
