MOFs are suitable for catalysis due to several intrinsic properties:
High Surface Area: The extensive surface area of MOFs allows for more active sites for catalytic reactions. Tunability: The ability to modify both the metal nodes and organic linkers enables the design of MOFs with specific catalytic properties. Porosity: The porous nature of MOFs facilitates the diffusion of reactants and products to and from the active sites. Stability: Many MOFs exhibit high thermal and chemical stability, which is crucial for catalytic processes.
