The main goal of this article is to discuss the expansion of click chemistry. A new catalyst composed of CuO nanoparticles embedded in Zn-MOF with the ligand 2,4,6- tris(4-carboxyphenoxy)-1,3,5-triazine (H3L) is presented. The incorporation of CuO nanoparticles into the Zn-MOF structure led to desirable morphology and catalytic properties. The designed catalyst was evaluated for its catalytic role in the multicomponent reaction and copper-catalyzed azide−alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) for preparation of triazole rings with 80−91% yield. The catalyst demonstrated an appealing architecture and exhibited robustness, high efficiency, and environmental friendliness. Characterization of the catalyst was performed using various techniques, including Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopes (TEM), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), elemental mapping, and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The results suggest that this novel catalyst has the potential to be a valuable tool in the development of new synthetic approaches for a wide range of applications
