In our latest paper now live at @ACSCatalysis, we probe the role of a new Co-based MOF in aerobic oxidation catalysis, and highlight the importance of carrying out kinetic experiments to evaluate the origins of catalytic activity. https://t.co/BeL4jSJINl
pubs.acs.org
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are attractive platforms that merge concepts of homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis. Catalyst design and optimization are enabled by an array of synthetic methods...

@ACS_AMI @Uddalak95902 Redox tuning via conformational control is dependent on the LUMO energy and the reduction potential as well as between the HOMO−LUMO energy gap and the rate of electron transfer. Kudos to @figgins_matthew for establishing the correlation via DFT calculations.
