Perspective: MOFs as heterogeneous oxidation catalysts

In this Catalysis Science & Technology perspective, Hermenegildo Garcia and colleagues from the Polytechnic University of Valencia describe the use of MOFs as heterogeneous catalysts for oxidation reactions using hydroperoxides or molecular oxygen.

The authors predict that the field of MOFs as solid catalysts will grow enormously in the near future due to the easy design and synthesis of chiral MOFs.
