Hydrophobization of metal‐organic frameworks (MOFs) is important to push forward their practical use and thus has attracted increasing interest. In contrast to the previous reports, which mainly focused on the modification of organic ligands in MOFs, herein, we reported a novel strategy to decorate the metal‐oxo nodes of MOFs with phenylsilane to afford super‐hydrophobic NH 2 ‐UiO‐66(Zr), which shows highly improved base resistance and holds great promise in versatile applications, such as organic/water separation, self‐cleaning, and liquid‐marble fabrication. This work demonstrates the first attempt at metal‐oxo node modification for super‐hydrophobic MOFs, advancing a new concept in the design of MOFs with controlled wettability for practical applications.
