Introducing crown ethers with carboxylic acid functionalities into the struts of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) has been achieved by J. F. Stoddart et al. and is described in their Full Paper on page 13356 ff. . These novel crown ethers not only retain the characteristics of their parent crown ether, but can also coordinate to inorganic secondary building units to build MOFs that are capable of docking electron‐accepting substrates precisely at their active sites.
