Abstract
Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), which are porous inorganic–organic hybrid materials, act as versatile catalyst platforms for various organic transformations. In particular, the aerobic oxidation of alcohols to the corresponding aldehydes (or ketones) has been extensively studied using various MOFs and their analogs. In this account, we summarize the performance of MOF‐based catalysts for the aerobic oxidation of alcohols based on the position of the catalytic species and the type of functionalization. Moreover, recent advances in MOF‐based catalysts for aerobic oxidation are discussed in terms of catalytic efficiency and substrate size discrimination.
