Abstract: Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) possess crystalline open structures, extremely high surface areas, tunable pore size and functionality, as well as high content of uniform metal sites. In the past decade, a large scientific effort has been directed to evaluation of their potential as heterogeneous catalysts for organic synthesis. Here, we give an overview of catalytic applications of MOFs of the MIL family in environmentally benign liquid-phase selective oxidations. The impact of the transition metal nature on the reaction selectivity and mechanistic features of the oxidation catalysis by MOFs are addressed. Peculiarities of adsorption of organic compounds on MOFs and their consequences for catalysis are discussed. Special attention is paid to the nature of catalysis and catalysts stability and reusability. A comparison of MOFs with conventional single-site catalysts (zeolites, aluminophosphates and mesoporous silicates) is provided, and the scope and limitations of the MOF catalysts are discussed.
