What Role Do Metal-Organic Frameworks Play in Modern Catalysis?
MOFs are porous materials composed of metal ions coordinated to organic ligands. Their highly ordered structure and large surface area make them ideal for catalytic applications. They can be tailored to possess specific functional groups, enhancing their ability to catalyze a wide range of reactions. MOFs have shown great promise in applications like carbon capture, hydrogen storage, and catalytic conversions of small molecules.
