Metal-organic frameworks as catalysts for sugar conversion into platform chemicals: State-of-the-art and prospects

Apart from a short introduction that describes biomass and its platform chemicals; this manuscript endevours to analyze and classify the enormous literature that has been generated for biomass conversion over a new class of heterogeneous catalysts metal–organic frameworks (MOFs); the recent progress of sugar conversion over MOFs based catalysis into valuable chemicals such as 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) and the subsequent secondary platform...
