With one of the largest internal surface areas of any porous material, MIL-101 has been studied for an array of applications including gas capture and catalysis. Many previous functionalizations of the MIL-101 framework for catalysis have focused on post-synthetic modification aided by the use of an aminoterephthalate ligand, which is later covalently linked to a catalytic moiety. Previously, we have reported the incorporation of [CpFe]+-functionalized ligands into both known and novel frameworks, resulting in microporous materials with potential applications in catalysis. Here, we present the first examples of mixed-ligand metal-organometallic MIL-101 analogues that incorporate these [CpM]+-functionalized ligands (M = Fe, Ru). By varying the synthetic ratios of functionalized to unfunctionalized ligand, we are able to successfully synthesize and characterize several mixed-ligand metal-organometallic MIL-101 analogues with varying degrees of organometallic ligand incorporation.
