The unlimited combination of building units, tunable structures, and facilitation tailoring active sites endows metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with high activity as heterogeneous catalysts in various reactions, such hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), oxygen (OER), reduction (ORR), carbon dioxide (CO2RR), alcohol-oxidation reactions. Structure-property relationships are at the center development MOF improved activities stabilities. This perspective highlights recent advances designing pristine materials for catalysis emerging state-of-the-art techniques analyzing structure-property relationships. We also discuss current barriers, challenges, future opportunities this promising rapidly developing research field.
