The synthesis of MOFs suitable for catalysis involves several steps:
Solvothermal synthesis: This method involves the reaction of metal salts with organic ligands in a solvent at elevated temperatures. Post-synthetic modification: After the initial synthesis, MOFs can be further modified to introduce specific catalytic sites or improve their stability. Impregnation: This technique involves incorporating catalytic nanoparticles or complexes into the porous structure of MOFs.
