Hierarchical structure and porosity in UiO-66 polyMOFs.

The first polymer-MOF hybrid material (polyMOF) with a UiO-66 architecture is reported, prepared from polymers with varying alkyl spacers, molecular weights, and dispersities. With appropriate spacing, mesoporous UiO-66 polyMOF can be obtained having an uncommon, interlaced crystal morphology, suggesting that polyMOFs can be used to generate MOF materials with hierarchical architectures.
