Heterogeneous Catalytic Oxidation by MFU‐1: A Cobalt(II)‐Containing Metal–Organic Framework

Structurally related to MOF-5, the cobalt(II)-containing metal–organic framework MFU-1 is stable to hydrolysis. Catalytic turnover is achieved in oxidation reactions with redox-active MFU-1, and the solid catalyst is easily recovered from the reaction mixture. Catalytic transformations have been shown to occur inside the pores of the microporous solid.
