Chemical environment control of the metal nanoparticles (NPs) embedded in nanocrystalline metal–organic frameworks (nMOFs) is useful in controlling the activity and selectivity of catalytic reactions. In this report, organic linkers with two functional groups, sulfonic acid (−SO3H, S) and ammonium (...
