In this perspective we first critically compare the use of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) as supports for catalytic functions with the possibilities offered by other classes of porous materials. We then discuss the incidental or deliberate formation of active sites in MOF lattices, and review some strategies to control the number and activity of these sites, ultimately resulting in MOF catalysts with improved performance.
