It is demonstrated that post-synthetic ligand exchange is very sensitive to both the molecular size and functionality of the exchanged ligand, and the ability to force hydrophilic molecules into hydrophobic pores using high pressures which results in a pressure-induced chemical decomposition of the Cu-framework.
