Abstract

UiO-66 is an archetypal metal–organic framework (MOF) with a very high surface area as well as high thermal stability. It is found that the stability can be attributed to the metal oxide node being cuboctahedral allowing for 12 extension points for 1,4-benzenedicarboxylic acid (BDC) coordination. Because of this and its exceptional tunability and functionality, which are largely due to defect control of both missing-cluster and missing-linker defects, UiO-66 has gained scientific popularity. The combination of these characteristics allows for a highly versatile material that can be adapted to many different applications. The purpose for this work is to provide a historic overview of UiO-66, outlining the major…
