Background Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are made by linking inorganic and organic
units by strong bonds (reticular synthesis). The flexibility with which the constituents' …

The chemistry of copper is extremely rich because it can easily access Cu0, CuI, CuII, and
CuIII oxidation states allowing it to act through one-electron or two-electron processes. As a …

This review deals with key methods of synthesis and characterization of metal-organic
frameworks (MOFs). The modular structure affords a wide variety of MOFs with different …

The development in the field MOF materials is moving from the discovery of new structures
toward applications of the most promising materials. In most cases, specialized applications …

Starting from the late seventies, the progressively increased availability of synchrotron light
sources allowed the execution of experiments requiring a high X-ray flux in a continuous …

Metal‐organic frameworks (MOFs) represent a new class of hybrid organic‐inorganic
supramolecular materials comprised of ordered networks formed from organic electron …

After controlled pretreatment, some Zr-terephthalate metal–organic frameworks are highly
selective catalysts for the cross-aldol condensation between benzaldehyde and heptanal …

This review describes new reactions catalyzed by recently discovered types of metal
complexes and catalytic systems (catalyst+ co-catalyst). Works of recent years (mainly 2010 …

In this Perspective, we describe the use of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) as
heterogeneous catalysts for oxidations using hydroperoxides or molecular oxygen. These …

Catalytic properties of Fe-MIL-101 and Cr-MIL-101 metal–organic frameworks in the solvent-
free oxidation of cyclohexene and α-pinene with molecular oxygen have been explored …
