The use of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) comprising custom-designed linkers/ligands as efficient and recyclable heterogeneous catalysts is on the rise. However, the topologically driven bifunctional porous MOFs for showcasing a synergistic effect of two distinct activation pathways of substrates (e.g., involving hydrogen bonding and a Lewis acid) in multicomponent organic transformations are very challenging. In particular, the novelty of such studies lies in the proper pore and/or surface engineering in MOFs for bringing the substrates in close proximity to understand the mechanistic aspects at the molecular level. This work represents the topological design, solid-state structural characterization, and catalytic behavior of an oxadiazole tetracarboxylate-based microporous three-dimensional (3D) metal-organic framework (MOF), {[Zn |
