Abstract:
The precision with which atoms can be positioned in 3D space through reticular chemistry imbues metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with the potential to access catalytic performance beyond what is possible with classical heterogeneous manifolds. In this paper, we highlight illustrative examples in which MOF-based catalysts integrate adsorption and catalysis, optimize cooperation, bypass high-energy intermediates, bring about active site regeneration, stabilize unusual active sites or use extended environment effects in order to break new ground in catalyst design.
