Abstract:

The past three decades have witnessed significant development of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for heterogeneous catalysis. At the crossroads of development, the fundamentals on the design of MOF-based catalysts along with the specific uniqueness of MOFs for catalysis are summarized in this Comment. Moreover, the bottlenecks limiting the further development and opportunities moving this field forwards are further discussed.
