Abstract

A thorough method for improving the catalytic activity of Metalorganic Frameworks (MOFs) by strategically functionalizing their porous architectures is laid forth in this paper. In order to maximize catalytic activity for different heterogeneous catalysis uses, the MOF framework is designed, and functional groups are integrated throughout the synthesis process. We investigate several functionalization approaches, such as modifying MOFs after synthesis or adding functionalized ligands during synthesis. A range of analytical methods are used to evaluate the chemical, structural, and textural characteristics of the functionalized MOFs that have been synthesized. Catalytic testing is carried out to assess how well these customized MOFs work in specific reactions. The findings prove that the all-encompassing method is effective in crafting MOFs with enhanced catalytic activity, opening the door to their potential use in environmentally friendly and cost-effective catalytic procedures.
