The encapsulation of noble‐metal nanoparticles (NPs) in metal‐organic frameworks (MOFs) with carboxylic acid ligands, the most extensive branch of the MOF family, gives NP/MOF composites that exhibit excellent shape‐selective catalytic performance in olefin hydrogenation, aqueous reaction in the reduction of 4‐nitrophenol, and faster molecular diffusion in CO oxidation. The strategy of using functionalized cavities of MOFs as hosts for different metal NPs looks promising for the development of high‐performance heterogeneous catalysts.
