Hf‐based Metal‐Organic Frameworks in Heterogeneous Catalysis.

Among the large family of metal‐organic frameworks (MOFs), Hf‐based MOFs are foreseen as promising materials for practical applications due to their exceptional characteristics such as rich structure versatility and outstanding stability. This review discusses catalytic applications of Hf‐MOFs since their development in 2012, and are summarized according to the location of the active site: at the hafnium node, at the linker or as a single‐site chemical entity located at the hafnium node after post‐synthetic functionalization. Special emphasis is made to synthetic preparation methods and catalytic performance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
