    Eric Metzger, Robert Comito, Mircea Dincă: Hydrocarbon Transformations in Metal-Organic Frameworks

    Uploaded by

    Eric Metzger
    Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) offer tunable porous materials for heterogeneous catalysis, allowing molecular level control not found in other solids. Mild cation exchange in MOFs creates well-defined transition metal clusters isolated at specific sites that are difficult to replicate homogeneously. The authors explore using these customized MOF environments to catalyze hydrocarbon transformations such as ethylene oligomerization.

    Hydrocarbon transformations in Metal-Organic Frameworks

    For decades, porous materials have been developed for heterogeneous


    catalysis. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have an unparalleled
    tunability for solid-state materials, presenting a rare opportunity to
    impart molecular level control to heterogeneous catalysts. Mild cation
    exchange at the secondary building units of MOFs enables access to
    well defined, site-isolated transition metal clusters that often have no
    direct homogeneous analog. We will present efforts to utilize the rare
    environments afforded by these soft cation exchange techniques to
    catalyze hydrocarbon transformations, with an emphasis on ethylene
    oligomerization.
