Exciting new opportunities are emerging in the field of catalysis on the basis of the controlled integration of ultrafine metal clusters (UMCs) and porous materials, providing the ability to create advanced nanocatalysts to investigate and optimize a broad range of catalytic processes. The immobilization of UMCs to porous materials provides great advantages for catalytic applications in terms of controlling the formation of UMCs with a clean surface at atomic level, protecting them from aggregation and harvesting the synergistic effects between the UMCs and the supports. This talk will discuss the recent progress in the field of UMCs immobilized to a broad range of porous materials including MOFs, carbons and soluble organic cages by focusing on their preparation and catalytic applications.
