Exploitation of missing linker in Zr-based metal-organic framework as the catalyst support for selective oxidation of benzyl alcohol

Extensive studies have been done on the modification of the organic linkers with different functional groups for ameliorating the properties of Zr-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). In contrast, little effort has been devoted to Zr MOF modification at the –OH group arising from the incomplete co...
