A nerve‐agent simulant based on a phosphate ester is hydrolyzed using a MOF‐based catalyst. Suspensions of MOF‐808 (6‐connected), a material featuring 6‐connected zirconium nodes, display the highest hydrolysis rates among all MOFs that have been reported to date. A plug‐flow reactor was also prepared with MOF‐808 (6‐connected) as the active layer. Deployed in a simple filtration scheme, the reactor displayed high hydrolysis efficiency and reusability.
