Topology and porosity control of Zr6-based MOFs was achieved by introducing steric functionalization into the conformations substituted tetracarboxylate linkers.
A desirable feature of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) is their well-defined structural periodicity and the presence catalyst grafting sites (e.g., reactive −OH −OH2 groups) that can support single-site heterogeneous catalysts. However, one should not overlook potential role residual organic moieties, specifically formate ions occupy anchoring during MOF synthesis. Here we show how these species in a Zr-based MOF, NU-1000, critically alter structure, redox capability, catalytic activity...

Solid supports play an indispensable role in heterogeneous catalysis, as they can directly affect the catalytic activity and selectivity of supported catalysts. However, specific roles such remain to be demystified owing difficulties obtaining precise structural information on To understand effects MOF topology, pore environment, metal identity node activity, a Ni catalyst was eight Zr- or Hf-MOFs based 8-connected nodes: namely M-NU-1200, M-NU-1000, M-NU-1008, M-NU-1010 (M = Zr, Hf)....
Activating the C-H bonds of alkanes without further oxidation to more thermodynamically stable products, CO and CO2, is a long-sought goal catalytic chemistry.

The metal–organic framework (MOF), NU-1000, and its metalated counterparts have found proof-of-concept application in heterogeneous catalysis hydrogen storage among others. A vapor-phase technique, akin to atomic layer deposition (ALD), is used selectively deposit divalent Cu ions on oxo, hydroxo-bridged hexa-zirconium(IV) nodes capped with terminal –OH –OH2 ligands. subsequent reaction steam yields node-anchored, CuII-oxo, hydroxo clusters. We find that cluster installation via AIM (ALD...
