Exploiting parameter space in MOFs: a 20-fold enhancement of phosphate-ester hydrolysis with UiO-66-NH2

Abstract

Using the enzymatic mechanism of phosphoesterase as a template, we were able to modify a metal–organic framework such that the hydrolysis rates were 50 times faster than previously demonstrated with UiO-66.
