“…Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are an emerging class of porous and tunable molecular material to develop heterogeneous and well-defined earth-abundant metal catalysts. − MOFs, built from metal-oxo cluster-based secondary building units (SBUs) or nodes and organic bridging linkers, provide thermally and chemically robust solid platforms to afford site-isolated catalytically active species. − Unlike the traditional oxide supports such as silica, alumina, or other metal oxides, MOFs offer a unique oxide support at SBUs to prepare single-site base-metal catalysts, benefitting from their reticular synthesis, tunable pores, and the highly disperse and uniform hydroxyl groups of its SBUs. − Moreover, MOF-supported single-site catalysts provide both the leverages offered by homogeneous catalysts such as homogeneity of the active sites, reproducibility, and selectivity and those provided by heterogeneous counterparts such as excellent robustness and easy recycling of the catalysts. ,− Herein, we report an aluminum hydroxide SBUs in a robust MOF (DUT-5)-supported single-site cobalt(II) hydride catalyst (DUT-5-CoH) for chemoselective deoxygenation of a range of aromatic and aliphatic ketones, aldehydes, and primary and secondary alcohols, including biomass-derived substrates under 1 bar of H 2 (Figure ).…”
