Heterogeneous catalysis is critical for the prosperity of human civilization. It provides access to the range of chemicals, materials, and fuels we use. Understanding and controlling catalytic processes are essential for developing improved energy storage and conversion technologies. Towards this long-term vision of precisely controlling active sites, our group focuses on incorporating catalysts into crystalline nanoporous materials, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). The precise molecularly-defined pores intrinsic to the MOFs provide a new tool to control the catalytic transformations on the catalysts. We have developed methods to combine organometallic catalysts, enzymes, and nanoparticle catalysts with MOFs of precisely tuned pore structures to manipulate the reactions.<br/>
