<p>Metal-organic
frameworks (MOFs) are a class of versatile, highly porous materials whose
structure and modifiable internal (pore)/external (surface) chemical
environments make them amenable for a wide range of applications including gas
storage and catalysis. [1] Recently, particle size has been shown to impact the
physical and structural properties of MOFs; therefore careful consideration of
the particle size and surface chemistry of MOFs must considered when examining
a MOF for a specific application. [2] MOFs
have been utilised for a number of heterogeneous catalytic pathways, but few studies
have focused on the interplay of particle size and the surface chemistry of
MOFs on their catalytic activity.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This contribution
will present a recent project focused on surface catalysis with MOFs. Zeolitic
imidazole framework (ZIF-8) has shown potential for Lewis acid/base surface-catalysed
reactions, for example the Knoevenagel condensation
and transesterifcation of triglycerides for the production of biodiesel. [3]
The impact of particle size and morphology on the catalysis of a
transesterification reaction at the surface of ZIF-8 will be discussed.</p>
