A highly porous metal‐organic framework (MOF) incorporating two kinds of second building units (SBUs), i.e., dimeric paddlewheel (Zn2(COO)4) and tetrameric (Zn4(O)(CO2)6), is successfully assembled by the reaction of a tricarboxylate ligand with ZnIIion. Subsequently, single‐crystal‐to‐single‐crystal metal cation exchange using the constructed MOF is investigated, and the results show that CuIIand CoIIions can selectively be introduced into the MOF without compromising the crystallinity of the pristine framework. This metal cation‐exchangeable MOF provides a useful platform for studying the metal effect on both gas adsorption and catalytic activity of the resulted MOFs. While the gas adsorption experiments reveal that CuIIand CoIIexchanged samples exhibit comparable CO2adsorption capability to the pristine ZnII‐based MOF under the same conditions, catalytic investigations for the cycloaddition reaction of CO2with epoxides into related carbonates demonstrate that ZnII‐based MOF affords the highest catalytic activity as compared with CuIIand CoIIexchanged ones. Molecular dynamic simulations are carried out to further confirm the catalytic performance of these constructed MOFs on chemical fixation of CO2to carbonates. This research sheds light on how metal exchange can influence intrinsic properties of MOFs.
