Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are porous molecular compositions quickly emerging as a novel electro-optical platform, especially for various energy transduction processes. Such functionalities are intimately tied with the modular MOF chemistry required for the delineation of the wide range of tunable porous structures constructed from various electrooptically active linkers and or metal nodes. Various post-synthesis approaches further facilitate incorporation of key chemical functionalities that cannot be introduced into MOFs directly via de novo syntheses. While the tunable frameworks can provide a high areal concentration of electrooptically active species, the pore channels ensure substrate and ion flux, making these compositions highly accessible solid arrangements of molecular catalysts ideal for electro- and photoelectro chemical transformations. The recent surge of literature reports suggests unique features of energy and electron transfer processes within these framework compositions. Thus, understanding the unique features of electron transfer processes within the frameworks will help to delineate strategies for future functional materials. This review highlights some exemplary MOFs’ electrocatalysis to understand the interplay between catalytic and ET processes.

金属有机骨架（MOF）是多孔分子组合物，迅速成为一种新型的电光平台，特别是用于各种能量转换过程。此类功能与模块化MOF化学紧密相关，而MOF化学则是描绘由各种电光有源连接器和/或金属节点构成的各种可调式多孔结构所必需的。各种合成后方法进一步促进了关键化学功能的整合，而这些关键化学功能无法直接通过从头引入MOF合成。尽管可调框架可以提供高面积浓度的电光活性物质，但孔道可确保底物和离子通量，从而使这些组合物成为分子催化剂的高度可及的固体结构，非常适合进行电化学和光电化学转化。最近的文献报道表明在这些骨架组合物中能量和电子转移过程的独特特征。因此，了解框架内电子转移过程的独特特征将有助于勾勒出未来功能材料的策略。这篇综述重点介绍了一些示例性MOF的电催化作用，以了解催化过程与ET过程之间的相互作用。
