Adipic acid, an industrially-important chemical that can be sustainably derived from biomass and post-consumer nylon, is traditionally overlooked as a linker for MOFs. Herein, we report the first direct one-pot method for synthesising UiO-66 MOFs with an unprecedented 69 mol% adipate content, as well as the feasibility of these materials for MOF defect engineering by rapid and selective adipate thermolysis.
