Support effects of metal–organic frameworks in heterogeneous catalysis

Abstract

Catalytic support effects have been widely studied as a key factor for creating highly active heterogeneous catalysts with limited amounts of rare metal elements. Recently, support effects of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) started to be investigated using their wide variety in pore size, electronic state, and selective adsorption property. Three types of support effects, namely molecular sieving, charge transfer, and substrate adsorption effects, have been reported on composite catalysts of metal nanoparticles supported on MOFs (M/MOFs). The current reports on heterogeneous catalysis in M/MOFs clearly demonstrated that both catalytic activity and product selectivity can be drastically enhanced and modulated by MOF supports through these support effects, and that application of MOFs as the supports is beneficial for creating novel high performance catalysts with metal nanoparticles. This minireview summarizes the catalytic properties and support effects observed on M/MOFs.
