Transformation of Metal‐Organic Frameworks into Stable Organic Frameworks with Inherited Skeletons and Catalytic Properties

Metal‐organic frameworks (MOFs) are an emerging class of porous materials with attractive properties, however, their practical applications are heavily hindered by their fragile nature. We report herein an effective strategy to transform fragile coordination bonds in MOFs into stable covalent organic bonds under mild annealing decarboxylative coupling reaction conditions, which results in highly stable organic framework materials. This strategy successfully endows intrinsic framework skeletons, porosity and properties of the parent MOFs in the daughter organic framework materials, which exhibit excellent chemical stability under harsh catalytic conditions. Therefore, this work opens a new avenue to synthesize stable organic framework materials derived from MOFs for applications in different fields. An effective strategy is developed to transform fragile coordination bonds in metal‐organic frameworks (MOFs) into stable covalent organic bonds under mild annealing decarboxylative coupling reaction conditions, which results in highly stable organic framework materials with inherited framework skeletons, porosity and properties from the parent MOFs for catalytic applications under harsh conditions.
