Abstract

A Brønsted acid-functionalized metal–organic framework (MOF), MIL-101-SO3H, was prepared for acid-engaged esterification reactions. Strikingly, for the first time, the MOF exhibits significantly light-enhanced activity and possesses excellent activity and recyclability, with even higher activity than H2SO4 under light irradiation.
