In contrast to catalytically active metal single atoms deposited on oxide nanoparticles, the crystalline nature of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) allows for a thorough characterization of reaction mechanisms. Using defect-free HKUST-1 MOF thin films, we demonstrate that Cu<sup>+</sup> /Cu<sup>2+</sup> dimer defects, created in a controlled fashion by reducing the pristine Cu<sup>2+</sup> /Cu<sup>2+</sup> pairs of the intact framework, account for the high catalytic activity in low-temperature C ...[more]
