Reticular chemistry of uranyl phosphonates: synthesis, design, and beyond†
Abstract
Compared to the uranium-based metal–organic framework (UMOF), achieving reticular chemistry in uranyl phosphonate MOFs is still challenging. In this review, three-dimensional (3D) uranyl phosphonates are collected and concluded for building blocks based on reticular chemistry. Among several design strategies, the sterically hindered phosphonate ligand (SHPL) strategy is introduced in detail due to its success in constructing porous uranyl phosphonate frameworks (UPFs) and their applications.
