Photolabile groups can be incorporated into metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and then quantitatively cleaved following MOF formation. Here, a 2-nitrobenzyl ether prevents lattice interpenetration (catenation) in a cubic MOF derived from zinc(II). Subsequent photolysis unmasks a hydroxyl group, and produces an open MOF that cannot be synthesized directly.
光不稳定基团可以被整合到金属有机骨架（MOFs）中，然后在 MOF 形成后进行定量裂解。在这里，2-硝基苄基醚可以防止由锌(II)衍生的立方 MOF 的晶格贯穿（交织）。随后的光解会暴露出一个羟基，并产生一个无法直接合成的开放 MOF。
