Metal‐Organic Framework–Specific Catalysis

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.
