Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are recognized as ideal candidates for many applications such as gas sorption and catalysis. For a long time the properties of these materials were thought to essentially arise from their well-defined crystal structures. It is only recently that the importance of structural defects for the properties of MOFs has been evidenced. In this work, salt-assisted and liquid-assisted grinding were used to introduce defects in a copper-based MOF, namely HKUST-1. Different milling times and post-synthetic treatments with alcohols allow introduction of defects in the form of free carboxylic acid groups or reduced copper(i) sites. The nature and the amount of defects were evaluated by spectroscopic methods (FTIR, XPS) as well as TGA and NH₃ temperature-programmed desorption experiments. The negative impact of free –COOH groups on the catalytic cyclopropanation reaction of ethyl diazoacetate with styrene, as well as on the gravimetric CO₂ sorption capacities of the materials, was demonstrated. The improvement of the catalytic activity of carboxylic acid containing materials by the presence of Cuᴵ sites was also evidenced.
