A typical MOF consists of a three‐dimensional matrix of metal ions stabilized by ligating polydentate organic linkers. A characteristic structural feature of MOFs is the presence of porous labyrinthine channels within the core metal–ligand scaffold. In their Review on page 16451 ff., S. Kousik and S. Velmathi explore the use of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) in C−C, C−N, and C−O coupling reactions reported between 2014 and 2018. The influence of pore size, pore environment, and load on catalytic activity is described. Post‐synthetic stabilization techniques and host–guest interactions in caged MOF scaffolds are detailed. Mechanistic aspects pertaining to the use of MOFs in asymmetric heterogeneous catalysis are highlighted and categorized.
