Coordination of a tetratopic nitrogen-rich linker with Zn2+ under solvothermal conditions afforded a Zn-based metal organic framework (MOF), where the Zn(II) ions could be exchanged by Cu(II) ions in a single-crystal-to-single-crystal fashion leading to a new Cu-based MOF. Such transformation induce...
