Abstract
= 4,4'-(1,4-phenylene)bis(pyrazolate)), generally possess excellent chemical stabilities under myriad conditions. In addition, we find that carboxylate and salicylate frameworks possess complementary stabilities, with carboxylate MOFs possessing superior robustness toward acids, electrophiles, and oxidants, and salicylate MOFs demonstrating improved robustness toward bases, nucleophiles, and reductants. The guidelines provided herein should facilitate the rational design of robust frameworks for applications in synthetic chemistry and guide the development of new strategies for the postsynthetic modification of MOFs as well.
