Abstract
Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) are crystalline porous materials constituted by the coordination of metal ions or clusters of metal ions with bipodal or multipodal rigid linkers. Due to the high metal content, large surface area, and porosity, these materials have attracted a considerable attention as solid catalysts of organic reactions in the liquid phase. In the present chapter, we first describe the main features of MOFs that make these materials very appropriate as catalysts and, then, describe briefly the use of MOFs as catalysts for organic reaction types. The final part summarizes the state of the art in the use of MOFs as catalyst and describes our view on future developments in the field.
