Characterization of MOF defects is important, but very challenging due to the local nature and short-range ordering. In this work, we have introduced the ordered vacancies (the defects) in the form of the coordinatively unsaturated sites (CUSs) into the framework of MOF MIL-120(Al). The creation of ordered vacancies is achieved by replacing one quarter of the BTEC (1,2,4,5-benzenetetracarboxylate) with BDC (benzene-1,4-dicarboxylate) linkers.
