About This Topic
Catalysis in particular heterogeneous catalysis draws attention of the wider scientific community such as material scientists, chemical engineers including the modern industrialized society. In this regard, metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have emerged as a promising class of materials with several unique properties, such as tunable pore size, high porosity and surface area, diverse topological structures, and versatile functionality. These features not only enable the MOFs to be a potential candidate for catalytic applications by enhancing the catalytic activity, selectivity, and chemical stability of the MOFs but also provide the useful platform to accomplished the desired applications. Further, the efficiency of the catalysts is highly related to the collective work between active sites, assistant sites, and microenvironments. Thus, a thematic issue on the recent progress of the development of the functional MOFs leading to their utilization as heterogeneous catalysts for the various organic transformation reactions appeals to a wider scientific community including the catalysis community, the inorganic chemistry community, the materials science community and the chemical engineering community.
