Defects, which are commonly in metal organic frameworks (MOFs), are closely related to the performance of materials in various applications. Unlike other MOFs where metal ion clusters are usually 4-, 5-, or 6-connected to the organic linkers, one secondary building unit (SBU) of UiO-66 is coordinate...
