Recent Advances in Metal-Organic Frameworks for Heterogeneous Catalyzed Organic Transformations

In this review, we summarize recent advances on Metal-Organic Framework (MOF) based heterogeneous catalytic chemistry. Catalytic performance of varied configurations of MOFs including active sites, post synthetic modification, and MOF derived catalysts, is summarized in the context of various organic transformation reactions. Post synthetic modification of MOFs via functionalization of organic linkers with active catalytic moieties is deliberated. Also, efficacy of carbonaceous catalysts derived from MOFs is discussed. Overall, an outlook on MOF’s application in heterogeneous catalysis is presented.
