Recent years have witnessed the exploration and synthesis of an increasing number of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). The utilization of stable MOFs as a platform for catalysis and biomimetics is discussed. This Feature Article will provide insights into the rational design and synthesis of three types of stable MOF catalysts on the basis of structural features of MOFs, that is, (i) MOF catalysts with catalytic sites on metal nodes, (ii) MOF catalysts with catalytic sites immobilized in organic struts, and (iii) MOF catalysts with catalytic centres encapsulated in the pores. Then, MOFs used in biomimetics including biomimetic mineralization, biosensors and biomimetic replication are introduced. Finally, a discussion on the challenges that must be addressed for successful implementation of MOFs in catalysis and biomimetics is presented.
近年来，越来越多的金属有机框架（MOF）被探索和合成。本文讨论了利用稳定的MOF作为催化和仿生平台的情况。这篇专题文章将基于MOF的结构特征，深入探讨三种类型的稳定MOF催化剂的合理设计与合成，即：（i）金属节点上具有催化位点的MOF催化剂；（ii）催化位点固定在有机支柱中的MOF催化剂；（iii）催化中心封装在孔中的MOF催化剂。然后，介绍了用于仿生领域的MOF，包括仿生矿化、生物传感器和仿生复制。最后，讨论了MOF在催化和仿生领域成功应用必须解决的挑战。
