Abstract
). The confinement of Cu-active sites within the porous MIL-53(Al) MOF facilitates C-C bond coupling, resulting in the efficient formation of acetic acid with excellent selectivity due to the internal mass transfer limitations. This work advances the development of efficient and chemoselective earth-abundant metal catalysts using MOFs for the direct transformation of methane into value-added products under mild and eco-friendly conditions.
