c oxidation of water using Ircontaining derivatives of UiO67. The image shows the structure of UiO67 and Ircontaining linkers 1 and 2 that are utilized for water oxidation catalysis at pH 1. Catalytic hydrolysis of the nerve agent soman (known as GD) by NU1000 2 Hightemperature catalysis of gasphase reactions The use of MOFs for gasphase catalysis is in an early phase, and most investigations have focused on proofofconcept reactions such as the oxidation of CO to CO2. We believe that the notion of MOFs as stable and uniform supports for singlesite catalysts is an especially exciting one, meriting further development. Oxidative dehydrogenation of cyclohexene to benzene using VUiO66 as a catalyst Future perspectives 4 ? The extended mechanical and chemical stabilities of MOFs in thinfilm form are also attractive goals. ? The systematic passivation of structural defects withinMOFs that may otherwise be targeted as weak points forattachment, and hence the degradation of the material, is another approach that could offer more stable structures In summary, MOFs, as a class of porous materials, have moved from the realm of ‘ usually delicate’ and ‘ usually moisture sensitive’ to nearly routinely designable to withstand harsh physical and chemical conditions. This change will no doubt accelerate the exploration and the application of MOFs, in unique ways, to scientifically and technologically significant problems.
