Zirconium-based metal-organic frameworks (Zr-MOFs) have attracted significant attention due to their remarkable chemical stability and highly tunable topological architectures. Post-synthetic ligand insertion engineering offers an important functionalization strategy capable of achieving precise design and modulation of the structure and function of the resulting Zr-MOFs, at the molecular level. This review systematically summarizes recent advances of ligand insertion within Zr-MOFs, with a focus on two dominant approaches of ligand installation and ligand exchange. It outlines the evolution from early-stage pendant-group modifications to the recent development of sequential ligand installation, elucidating the mechanisms, applicable scopes, and performance enhancements of these methods in areas such as gas adsorption/separation and heterogeneous catalysis, etc. Special emphasis is placed on how sequential ligand installation enables precise and stepwise incorporation of functional linkers through pre-engineered structural vacancies, thereby allowing atomic-scale modulation of pore microenvironments and enabling function enhancement. Finally, future challenges and prospects in scalable synthesis, multifunctional integration, and practical applications are discussed, providing theoretical guidelines for the rational design of high-performance Zr-MOFs materials.
