Abstract

H demonstrated remarkable catalytic activity (>85% conversion and >98% selectivity to solketal after 1 h) and, crucially, maintained exceptional structural stability with no observable loss of activity over ten consecutive catalytic cycles. This study establishes a crucial structure-property relationship, validating both specific MOF functionalities for highly effective and reusable heterogeneous catalysts.
