Since the discovery of Metal Organic Frameworks (MOFs) in the early 1990, the amount of new structures has grown exponentially. A MOF typically consists of inorganic nodes that are connected by organic linkers to form crystalline, highly porous structures. MOFs have attracted a lot of attention lately, as the versatile design of such materials holds promises of interesting applications in various fields. In this review, we will focus on the use of MOFs as heterogeneous oxidation catalysts. MOFs are very promising candidates to replace homogeneous catalysts by sustainable and stable heterogeneous catalysts. The catalytic active function can be either the active metal sites of the MOF itself or can be introduced as an extra functionality in the linker, a dopant or a "ship-in-a-bottle" complex. As the pore size, pore shape and functionality of MOFs can be designed in numerous ways, shape selectivity and even chiral selectivity can be created. In this review, we will present an overview on the state of the art of the use of MOFs as a heterogeneous catalyst in liquid phase oxidation reactions.

“…In addition, mononuclear Ru(η 6 -cot)(η 2 -dmfm) 2 (1), which is the starting material for the synthesis of (μ-oxo) tetraruthenium cluster (2), showed no catalytic activity in either the absence or presence of a small amount of H 2 O. No induction period was observed, and benzaldehyde was generated from the initial stage of the reaction (Figure 1).…”

“…Anhydrous toluene, THF, and CH 2 Cl 2 were obtained by filtration through a drying column on a Glass Contour system [33], and used after bubbling with argon. Ru(η 6 -cot)-(η 2 -dmfm) 2 (1) and (μ-oxo)tetraruthenium cluster (2) were prepared as described in the literature [27,28]. Quantofix ® peroxide test paper was used to detect H 2 O 2 .…”

“…The selective oxidation of primary and secondary alcohols to the corresponding aldehydes and ketones, respecttively, is a ubiquitous and pivotal reaction in organic synthesis and the chemical industry [1,2]. Such oxidation reactions have been performed traditionally with stoichiometric inorganic oxidants, represented by CrO 3 , KMnO 4 , MnO 2 , and SeO 2 [3].…”

“…Such oxidation reactions have been performed traditionally with stoichiometric inorganic oxidants, represented by CrO 3 , KMnO 4 , MnO 2 , and SeO 2 [3]. However, these oxidation methods have serious drawbacks, such as their cost and the production of environmentally hazardous/toxic byproducts.…”
