Abstract
Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are emerging porous materials with highly tunable structures developed in the 1990s, while organometallic chemistry is of fundamental importance for catalytic transformation in the academic and industrial world for many decades. Through the years, organometallic chemistry has been incorporated into functional MOF construction for diverse applications. Here, we will focus on how organometallic chemistry is applied in MOF design and modifications from linker-centric and metal-cluster-centric perspectives, respectively. Through structural design, MOFs can function as a tailorable platform for traditional organometallic transformations, including reaction of alkenes, cross-coupling reactions, and C–H activations. Besides, an overview will be made on other application categories of organometallic MOFs, such as gas adsorption, magnetism, quantum computing, and therapeutics.

Catalytic transformations to design new and tailored commodity items have been of interest for many decades, both in the private, industrial, and academic world
Many important industrial processes that we rely upon in our modern lifestyle depend on the basic chemical transformations using organometallic chemical processes
This area of research has long been a key feature in the modernization and globalization of our world as many of the everyday commodities we utilize are made through organometallic chemical processes
Summary
Catalytic transformations to design new and tailored commodity items have been of interest for many decades, both in the private, industrial, and academic world. It is estimated that 300 million tons of polymer-based plastics alone are produced globally each year at least in part from catalytic synthesis processes [2,3,4] This area of research has long been a key feature in the modernization and globalization of our world as many of the everyday commodities we utilize are made through organometallic chemical processes. There are many new approaches to design better and more effective ways of producing these commodities by further refining the organometallic catalytic processes that are utilized most heavily today. Among these approaches, Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have taken a central role in the improvement of organometallic catalytic research.
