MOFs as catalysts: Activity, reusability and shape-selectivity of a Pd-containing MOF
A palladium-containing metal-organic framework (Pd-MOF) was found to be an active catalyst for alcohol oxidation, Suzuki C-C coupling, and olefin hydrogenation. The MOF structure is preserved throughout catalysis, and the material is reusable. The Pd-MOF demonstrates remarkable shape-selectivity for olefin conversion. (c) 2007 Elsevier Inc.
