A catalytic molybdenum metal-organic framework
| Background
Metal-organic frameworks have been shown to be applicable to catalysis, among many other applications, as [highlighted three chemists doing seminal work in this field being awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2025](https://proteopedia.org/wiki/index.php/Proteopedia:Hot_News).
A catalytic molybdenum metal-organic framework was synthesized from porphyrin and sodium molybdate dihydrate by a hydrothermal method.
The framework was characterized and shown to catalyze oxidation of cyclohexene.
Here the crystal structure of catalytic molybdenum metal-organic framework is featured.
