Rare‐Earth‐Based Metal–Organic Frameworks as Multifunctional Platforms for Catalytic Conversion

Abstract The development of catalytic conversion is very important for human society. In the catalytic process, metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) can be utilized to obtain effective catalysts for their porous structures and adjustable properties. In addition, the introduction of rare‐earth (RE) elements with unique properties for catalysts can realize good catalytic performances. Thus, the RE‐MOF related catalysts for catalytic conversion are summarized. Due to the cooperation of RE elements and porous MOF structures, the RE‐based MOFs can be used as promising catalysts or precursors/supports for other catalysts in the areas of energy conversion, environmental governance, and organic synthesis. These aggregated studies highlight the RE‐MOFs as promising candidates for catalytic conversion.
