Two different porous copper metal–organic frameworks (Cu-MOFs) named as Cu3(BTC)2 and Cu(BDC) were synthesized and applied as heterogeneous catalysts for the catalytic wet peroxide oxidation (CWPO) of simulated phenol wastewater (100 mg L−1).

Copper hydroxyl sulfates Cu4(OH)6SO4-A and Cu4(OH)6SO4-B were successfully synthesized by a simple hydrothermal method and applied as heterogeneous catalysts to degrade phenol wastewater in the presence of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2).

Understanding how different factors affect the electronic prop-erties of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is critical to under-standing their potential for catalysis and to serve as catalyst supports. In this work, periodic dispersion corrected PBE cal-culations are performed to assess the catalytic activity of dif-ferent Zr6 vs Zr12 metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for the heterogeneous catalytic hydrolysis of the chemical warfare agent (CWA) sarin. Using a comprehensive series of extended periodic models capable of capturing long-range sar-in/water/framework interactions in both Zr6 and Zr12 MOFs, the effect of numbers and morphologies of defective sites as well as ZrIV substitution with heavier CeIV are thoroughly in-vestigated. Our calculations show that hydrogen bonds in-volving both metal-oxide nodes and organic linkers can play important roles in the catalysis. Insights derived from this work should inform the design and realization of more effec-tive and robust next-generation MOF-based heterogeneous catalysts.
