MOFs have been shown to catalyze a variety of reactions, including:
Oxidation Reactions: MOFs can catalyze the oxidation of organic substrates using molecular oxygen or other oxidants. Hydrogenation Reactions: Certain MOFs are effective in hydrogenating alkenes, alkynes, and other unsaturated compounds. Carbon-Carbon Coupling Reactions: MOFs facilitate various coupling reactions, such as Heck, Suzuki, and Sonogashira couplings. Photocatalysis: MOFs can be designed to harness light energy for driving chemical reactions, making them useful in applications like solar fuel production.
