Abstract

Porphyrin-based Metal-Organic Frameworks (Por-MOFs) constitute a special branch of the wide MOF family that has proven its own value and high potential in different applications. In this mini-review the application of these materials as catalysts in oxidation reactions is highlighted.

Keywords: heterogeneous catalysis; metal-organic frameworks; oxidation; porphyrins.
